EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history in the form of a women's outerwear shawl from 1855 France. Made of wool, this intricate shawl is a beautiful example of imitation Kashmiri design, with multi-colored jacquard weaving creating geometric patterns throughout. Measuring an impressive 3750 mm x 1600 mm, this shawl features three vertical bands - the outer two with five blocks and the inner with three blocks. The blocked border adds to the overall elegance of the piece, while the short ends are finished with color blocks and fringed edges made from warp threads. The craftsmanship and attention to detail on this shawl are truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and artistry of French textile manufacturers during this time period. The woven inscription in one corner even denotes its origin at the Paris Exposition in 1855. This print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this historic garment but also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire fashion designers today. It is a testament to timeless style and craftsmanship that transcends generations.
