Unbelievably beautiful 1920s silk net shawl. This exceptional example is made using a very unusual technique: silk threads in an array of vivd colors are carefully woven in and out of the natural holes in the silk net base to create the individual elements of the design. The effect is stunning, with a natural texture that adds wonderful depth to the floral imagery depicting roses, carnations and forget-me-nots in a sea of leaves and foliage. An incredibly rare and unique example of early 20th century textile innovation, and a wonderful addition to a spring/summer wardrobe. Wear with your favorite silk dress wrapped around your shoulders for a little extra coverage and an exquisite pop of color, or with a t-shirt and jeans to add a little special something to your everyday uniform.
