I buy vintage linens at local estate auctions to pass them along to you, and just found this amazing dramatic silk shawl.

This is an antique silk shawl of unusually lovely design.  It is made of silk in a shade of cream and features not only embroidery and long fringe, but a double tier of these!  The design is a little hard to explain, so stay with me here:  it is has a straight top 48" wide and curved bottom edge that is 36" long in the center, plus knotted fringe border 3" wide and fringe 7" long.  Across the top there is an arc cut out of the center 18."  This center section has a curved tier added, a half-circle that measures 17" long, 7" of silk with embroidery and another 3" of knotted fringe border and 7" of fringe.  Thus when you look at the back you see the turn-back tier forming a curve at the top and then the longer layer of the shawl also curved at the bottom. The shawl has the 10" fringes all around.  The embroidery is quite lovely and has a subtle shine; it depicts recognizable flowers and grape leaves and grapes.  It measures 3.5" wide.   Please use the zoom function to check the great details. 

I have carefully laundered this and pressed it, including smoothing and ironing out the fringe.  I found the following issues:  there is a previous repair, a rip about 1.5" long, but this is hidden under the upper tier of fringe.  There is also one pinhole.  These defects are shown in the last three photos.  Otherwise this is in lovely condition, and such an unusual design, giving you double the embroidery and fringe!  I have already done the hard work of smoothing the fringe, so it's ready to wear.

I am storing this in my smoke-free home, but I do have a cat who sheds copiously, so be aware if you have allergies. Please contact me for more information or photos.  I am happy to combine items to save on shipping, so check my other listings too.  Thanks for looking!
