Original Description:
I am in the United KIngdom and I ship worldwide.This auction is in Pounds Sterling and not in Dollars or Euros. I only charge the actual postage costs, no hidden extras.
A lovely antique Cantonese/Chinese silk embroidered shawl or Manton de Manila in a rare lilac colour.It would have been made in China for export to the European market.I think it is early Victorian but possibly it may even be a bit earlier than that.The lilac silk is very soft and so are the fine fringes.The quality... of the embroidery is superb, very fine and it features a wide variety of things.In the centre it has a dense pattern of Dragons surrounded by borders of figures in a garden and with animals, Dragons, Butterflies, Birds, Trees, Flowers, Animals, Fishermen, Pagodas and other buildings.The silk panel is 61.1/2 inches (156 cm) by 60.1/2 inches (153.50 cm) and the border and fringes are 10.1/2 inches long (27 cm).CONDITION.There are no tears, repairs or large stains and the silk is strong.As you can see there is colour fading but it is not quite as obvious as it appears in the photos. I don’t know why the camera has reacted so badly in some of the pictures. It looks much better in real life.There is a small stain (See photo) and a few other small marks not easily seen.When held to the light I can see several small holes and one larger one which is smaller than the top of a pencil. These would not show when worn but are mentioned for accuracy.Perhaps it could be dyed to even out the colour? I have not tried to clean the shawl and it is exactly as it was when I bought it.In my opinion it could still be worn as it is (See photos on the mannequin) or be used for display, as a throw or for other projects.
