A cope or pluvial is an ecclesiastical vestment, shaped as a wide mantle with a hood at the back. It is used by priests for vespers and processions. This silk cope has a chinoiserie design with rocaille motifs, butterflies, birds and flowers inspired from Far-East silks. The dense design, the taste for sharp lines and brilliant colours are characteristic of this style. Some manufacturers in Lyons imitated these chinoiserie patterns with the help of draughtsmen like Jean revel, Jean Pillement or Alexis Peyrotte.
