XL Victorian Paisley Shawl - Antique Wool Kashmir Style India Wrap - Authentic 1800s Large Rectangle Fabric - 61 x 121 Inches - 50421
$ 229.99
An extravagant relic from days gone by! This very large, very detailed paisley shawl was imported from India to the Western world in the Victorian era. It has extremely ornate flourishes, leaves and flowers in an exquisite paisley wool with four rust orange & celadon blue panels to the center. It's a large rectangle - so large its largest view still cuts off the ends, as shown in the first photo. The final photo shows the shawl folded. Useful as a bed coverlet as well.
