A very fine silk embroidered wedding shawl or cover dating from the mid 19th century and from Ottoman Turkey.
Exquisitely hand embroidered in silks and gilt thread onto an ultra fine muslin. Backed at a later date in a fine gauze to support and give the shawl body and support.
We think this was hand embroidered by a bride or her family as part of her wedding trousseau.
This fine embroidery would benefit by being stretched and mounted, a service we are pleased to be able to offer from our professional dedicated textile conservation studio. Please ask for details.
Condition: In good antique condition. A few small marks and some losses to the outer embroidered edges.
