About the Item
A rare and exquisite artifact of 19th-century textile craftsmanship, this hand-embroidered Kashmiri Pieced Shawl exemplifies the artistic and cultural sophistication of historic Kashmir. Composed of intricately hand-stitched antique textile fragments, the shawl presents a richly detailed design in a warm, timeless palette of brick red, black, brown, yellow, and ivory.
Each section of this pieced shawl reveals meticulous needlework and masterful composition, merging fragments into a single, unified work of art. The result is a harmonious visual rhythm—a reflection of the weaver’s patience, skill, and aesthetic sensibility.
Kashmiri shawls rose to prominence in the 1800s, cherished across Europe and beyond, especially after Queen Victoria popularized them as a mark of elegance and status. The enduring influence of these pieces is evident in the famed Paisley shawls of Scotland, which borrowed heavily from Kashmiri motifs and methods.
Today, this museum-worthy textile serves equally well as a statement shawl, a wall-mounted textile artwork, or a decorative accent draped over a table or bed. It’s a remarkable collector’s piece, embodying the cultural richness and handcraft heritage of historic Kashmir.

A refined 19th-century hand-woven Paisley shawl from Northwest India, showcasing a sophisticated color palette of brick red, ivory, and black. Crafted in the Kashmir region, this historic textile represents the pinnacle of Indian weaving traditions and is often referred to as a "Piano Shawl" for its wide rectangular shape and decorative appeal when draped over furniture.
