Kashmiri (Paisley) Shawl 1251

This Mid-19th Century Paisley Shawl, woven in the historic textile town of Paisley, Scotland, is a stunning example of Victorian-era craftsmanship and fashion. Featuring an intricate design in rich tones of red, ivory, black, green, and orange, the shawl showcases the iconic paisley motif that became widely associated with elegance and luxury in the 1800s.

Inspired by the original Kashmiri shawls of India, these European-made "Paisley" or "Piano" shawls gained immense popularity when Queen Victoria adopted them into her wardrobe. Machine-woven with remarkable detail, this antique textile is both visually captivating and historically significant. Whether used as wall art, a bed or table display, or a dramatic textile accent, it brings a refined touch of 19th-century design to any interior. A valuable, collectible piece for historians, collectors, and designers alike.
