19th century victorian black embellished bodice/ mourning wear

Victorian bodice from the late 19th century.
The intricate jet beading, high neck, and tailored silhouette are very characteristic of this period.
The jacket's design may also indicate that it was a mourning jacket, as black clothing became a fashionable statement after Queen Victoria's mourning for Prince Albert's death in 1861.
These pieces were often highly detailed with jet beads, lace, and other elaborate trimmings.
The bodice is incredible delicate and would be advised to have as a display piece rather than wear.
