Antique Spanish Black Silk Embroidered Piano Shawl C. 1915 - $795 - (Moline, IL)

The shawl has beautiful detailed embroidery all over it with the four corners particularly heavily embroidered and done in classical Art Nouveau thematic form with flowers, moths and flowing nature elements. Overall, the shawl is 100 inches square. The body is 60 inches square and the fringe length is 14 inches which is attached to 6 inches of macrame lace for a total border length of 20 inches.
