EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Square Shawl, hailing from the late 19th century, showcases the intricate beauty of Paisley design at its finest. The shawl, created between 1860 and 1870, is of unknown origin, but its intricate patterns suggest a connection to Scotland or Britain. The shawl is made of a cotton and wool satin weave, giving it a rich texture and sheen. The design is adorned with bold, colorful boteh motifs, also known as buta or paisley patterns, which have been block printed onto the fabric using wooden blocks. The shawl's edges are adorned with an attached wool knotted fringe, adding an elegant touch to the piece. This Square Shawl is a prime example of the high-quality textiles produced during the Victorian era. Its intricate patterns and beautiful color palette reflect the artistic and cultural heritage of the time. The shawl would have been a prized possession, worn as a fashion statement or kept as a cherished heirloom. Today, it is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the past, and a reminder of the rich history of textile design. This Square Shawl is now part of the textile collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved and displayed for all to appreciate. The shawl's intricate patterns and beautiful color palette continue to captivate visitors, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of textiles, fashion, or art.
