Shawl

1830-1840 (made)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Square shawl of white woven silk and cotton. Within a guard-stripe width border of a repeating lattice like joined wreaths of flowers is an inner border with a stylised floral cresting at each edge, comprising another lattice in brown bearing red diamonds crossed by green leaves. The field is covered with a single repeated sprig turned in four different directions to utilise the repeat of 2.25 inches in the border patterns. On a white silk ground the pattern is in red, blue, green and brown cotton and yellow silk.

There is a short wispy white silk fringe applied on all four sides. The ground is in 3/1 twill, a proportion of the warp binding the pattern weft in a tabby 'brick' effect.
