Piano Shawl Victorian Bustle Stole Silk Vivid Forbidden Embroidery 1890 Heirloom Provenance
$82.88
Huge Pure Silk Canton Manton De Manila Piano Shawl.
Hand Embroidered in the most exquisite Silk thread in Vibrant and iridescent jewel colours, all executed in the forbidden stitch.
The shawl has been kept within an estates heirloom private collection and carefully stored in a linen chest since just after it was created in the mid 1900s
It was last worn in 1929 for a wedding and then stored.
The silk is from my own heirloom collection-provenance can be confirmed as to the fabric and hand embroidery
The corners are rounded, expertly finished on all edges, with a hand knotted Macrame top and long silk fringe, which is free of tangles and knots.
Measurements are as follows;
Length; 68 inches
Depth; 62 inches
The depth of the silk fringe and macrame is; 20 inches
The shawl is in the most stunning antique condition. There are no loose threads to the embroidery, no thinning to the fabric nor the fringing, but does have some pin marks
The fabric has been fully checked for rot or thinning, it’s been freshly professionally dry cleaned and is ready to wear
These stunning shawls look so beautiful, draped around a lady's shoulders.
Please drop me a line, if you have any questions.
