This week, we prove women aren’t the only ones who can dazzle with this stunning 18th century men’s coat #OutoftheBox . The mauve silk taffeta coat features intricate embroidery, rhinestones, and sequin #embellishment.  This highly stylized coat is typical of men’s court dress from around 1770s-1780s, but it is atypical for such an amazing piece to survive in such good condition!  Find out how you can help us get more treasures like this one #OutoftheBox by participating in our #AdoptABox program!
