Square Shawl, France, c. 1850 - A Vibrant Tapestry of 19th Century Artistry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable Square Shawl from France, dating back to the mid-19th century. Created by an unknown artist, this textile masterpiece is currently housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. The shawl's intricate design and vibrant colors are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its creator. Woven on a loom with jacquard attachment, it features a center of 22s twill weave surrounded by patterned areas of warp float faced 31s twill weave. The supplementary patterning wefts bound in weft float faced 13s twill interlacings add depth and complexity to the overall composition. Made from silk wool and cotton warp threads dyed in multiple colors prior to weaving, this square shawl exudes elegance and sophistication. Its main warp fringe adds a touch of refinement while enhancing its visual appeal. With origins rooted in French fashion history, this exquisite textile exemplifies European artistry at its finest. Its presence evokes images of opulent ballrooms and fashionable soirées during the height of the nineteenth century. As we admire this heritage artwork captured through photography, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also the anonymous hands that skillfully brought it into existence over one hundred and fifty years ago.
