A very beautiful silk shawl for evening wear.
of close woven twilled silk leno or gauze, a wide band of thick ribbed weaving close to the edge, 3 in or 7.5 cm wide, the black centre with a border of upright delicate flower sprays both sides of an ivory wavy band, in crimson, pink, pale blue and green, yellow, deep silk fringe, 5ft 8 in or 1.75 m sq
Very good condition apart from 3 cm hole to the black gauze near one border. Fresh looking. It is very difficult finding this type of shawl in good condition.
