About the Item

An exceptional and rare example of 19th-century textile artistry, this handcrafted Kashmiri Pieced Shawl showcases intricate hand embroidery and meticulous hand stitching in a striking palette of brick red, black, yellow, and ivory. Unlike mass-produced counterparts, this shawl is composed of antique textile fragments—carefully pieced together to form a harmonious and visually captivating design. Known for their extraordinary craftsmanship, Kashmiri shawls gained widespread popularity during the 1800s, particularly after Queen Victoria embraced them as a symbol of refined style. This tradition later inspired the famous Paisley shawls, produced in Scotland, which borrowed heavily from the motifs and techniques of the original Kashmiri designs. Today, this museum-worthy textile is not only a stunning fashion statement but also serves beautifully as wall art, or as a unique decorative accent for tables or beds. A true collector's item, this shawl is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistry of 19th-century Kashmir.
