Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
It is supported on original bracket feet and measures 33ins (84cms) wide.
Brushing slides were used to "prepare" jackets prior to being worn. Wigs were the fashion, and the effective way of keeping wigs clean is by powdering, sometimes using perfumed powder. The excess was brushed off from the shoulders of the jacket before being laid out for wear.
