Fine Antique Persian Shawl 43793

Beautiful Antique Persian Shawl, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Early 19th Century – Here is an elegant and beautifully woven antique Persian shawl that was woven in Persia during the early years of the nineteenth century. Impeccably woven with a truly lovely pattern, this antique shawl is an elegant and compelling work that transcends its format. Precisely composed, this appealing nineteenth century Persian shawl features impressive borders, as well as a composition that is reminiscent of antique Persian rug design, with a flourish resembling a central medallion that emanates a strong energy. The outermost border features a series of colorful badges, green, yellow, red and blue, each woven with great precision and intriguing detail work. Working inward, one encounters a second, inner border. Here, the pattern and colors that dominate the field portion of the shawl are arranged together into tidy and compelling detail work. Meanwhile, the design of the field is heavily influenced from the large cross-like figure that rests at the shawl’s center: all of the beautiful and precise detail work that colors this shawl radiates outward from it in beautifully symmetric concentric figures.
