Description

Shawl of creamy white plied worsted and silk warp and worsted weft twill. The deep border is woven in dark blue cotton with touches of red wool and white silk. The design shows symmetrical cones, four at each side, looking inwards, and an inner cone projecting outwards near the top. The cones are filled with florets in blue, with red and white veins, and are voided on a similar filling. The inner border cones slant towards the centre. Guard stripes are all the same, with a feathery leaf. Shawl of worsted and silk, probably made in Paisley, Scotland, ca. 1840-1850.
