|
This Victorian era antique large banquet size jacquard hand loom wool paisley shawl dates from the 1880s. It is made of jacquard hand loomed woven wool done in strong vivid vibrant colors of red, orange, gold, turquoise blue, green, black and white. These paisley shawls were made in Kashmir, Persia, India, Russia, USA and Europe in Scotland at Paisley itself. This stunning shawl has wonderful workmanship and detail with a colorful decorative fringed border on the two ends, green selvage along the side edging and a small black wool star center. These paisley shawls were very popular during the mid to late 1800s with at least one being included in every better class trousseau. This outstanding oversized large banquet size shawl throw tablecover measures 126 inches long and 60 inches wide. It is in as-is fair condition, with several small holes and frays scattered around (see close-up). This is a lovely large size example of paisley textile art!
