Long Shawl

Artist/maker unknown

The design of this shawl, although focused on the Islamic-influenced arch, is distinctly French. Here the paisley motif is reduced in size and importance in the overall pattern of the shawl. This display shows a fashionable arrangement for a shawl in the mid-nineteenth century.
