Victorian Antique Large Banquet Size Jacquard Hand Loom Wool Paisley Shawl 132"
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 bright 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 edgings and a large black wool 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 132 inches long and 64 inches wide. It is in good condition, with a few small holes, faint age spot stains and some slight fraying along the border edging (see close-up). This is a lovely large size example of paisley textile art!
