Victorian Antique Jacquard Hand Loom Wool Paisley Striped Shawl 70x70. Tweet
|
This Victorian era antique jacquard hand loom wool paisley striped 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 striped pattern design. These paisley shawls were very popular during the mid to late 1800s with at least one being included in every better class trousseau. The shawl throw tablecover measures 70 by 70 inches. It is in good condition and looks to have never been used, with no holes or repairs. There is a faint small stain near the bottom edging (see close-up). This is a wonderful example of antique paisley textile art!
