Vintage Art Deco Egyptian Assuit Cream Net Diamond Silver Shawl Scarf. Tweet
|
This vintage Art Deco Egyptian Assuit cream net diamond silver shawl scarf dates from the 1920s. It is made of a sheer off white cream color cotton netting, with thousands of hand applied silver metal pieces done in a decorative Art Deco abstract geometric diamond design, with a variety of tree shapes. These shawls are also known as Tulle-bi-telli, Assuit, Asyut, Assyut, Assiut. Tulle-bi-telli translates roughly as "net with metal". The shawls were made popular during the 1920s with the discovery of King Tut's tomb and were made in Assiut, Egypt. This beautiful belly dancing shawl style scarf wrap measures 82 inches long and 30 inches wide. There is a hand stitched rolled hem edging. It is in excellent wearable condition. This is a great piece of wearable Egyptian textile art!
