Description
Associated with Sarah Bowman Winter of Bath and the Anderson family of Windham, this full length coat was crafted of a sage or grayish fancy weave silk. The style suggests that the coat originated in England.
The slim, beautifully quilted coat features a wide detachable quilted collar, three aqua silk ribbons along the front, and a ribbon around the waist to secure the wearer against chilly weather.
Sarah Bowman (1792-1828) married Samuel Winter of Bath in 1814. Their daughter Marcia married into the Anderson family in 1847.
