SILK CREAM AND FLORAL PRINTED SHAWL, ENGLISH OR FRENCH 1800-1810

A most charming and dainty printed pure silk summer shawl dating from the early 19th century. It has a most unusual, almost botanical print, of flowers with aquamarine leaves around the edge, and the centre has little scattered aquamarine florettes. The coloring is typical of the first years of the 1800s.

There is a fringe all round.

Condition: Excellent and strong. Shawls from this period are almost impossible to find in excellent condition. This one is the exception!

Measurements: 49" X 49" (without fringe). Fringe 4".

Price: SOLD
