About the Item

A refined and elegant example of mid-19th-century Kashmiri kani weaving, this square shawl presents a balanced and sophisticated medallion design, radiating outward in delicate floral sprays and scrolling vines. The field is worked in subtle shades of rose, slate, ivory, and soft green, giving it a luminous, almost watercolor-like effect. The crispness of the weave and intricacy of the layout reflect the peak artistry of Kashmir’s legendary shawl workshops. At the heart of the composition lies a woven inscription—likely the signature of the workshop or master artisan—subtly worked into the dark central ground. These signatures were typically included in commissioned or high-value pieces destined for export to nobility or wealthy patrons. This added provenance makes the shawl not only beautiful but historically significant. In nice antique condition with some light fraying along the edges and corners, this textile is a testament to the extraordinary legacy of Kashmir’s weaving tradition. From the private collection of a prominent antique rug dealer in Amherst, MA. 6’3 x 6’3
