Antique 1920's Shawl - Bone White Silk Chenille Fringe with Taffeta | S, M, LG

This antique 1920s shawl was made from a diamond crochet bone white silk chenille with fringe detail throughout. Absolutely gorgeous, with a decadent weight that feels so comforting when worn. Hand stitched to an embroidered silk taffeta collar with taffeta lining at the edges of the opening which helps to keep the shawl in place. A long circular shape that gives a slightly scalloped effect when worn, falling to the hip in the front and slightly longer in the back. No closure, but would look incredible with a rhinestone cape clasp. A very versatile piece that would pair beautifully with your favorite lingerie, dress, or top. 

Disclaimer: I had this looked at and was told that it could be as old as the late Victorian era to the early 1920s as silk chenille was more prevalently used at this time.  Dating at 1920s due to silk connecting threads which resembles others I have seen from the era.
