Summary
Ceremonial red robe/cloak lined with cream silk and trimmed with ermine and gold ribbon. Black silk bow at neck and on left shoulder; a red 'tag' on back with label 'Lord Clifden'.
Provenance
Acquired during transfer when the house was given to the National Trust in 1953. Although labelled Lord Clifden, it is not absolutely certain that it belonged to Gerald Agar-Robartes, 7th Viscount Clifden, though he would have been the most likely wearer.
