Shawl c. 1860s

This intricately woven shawl, dating back to the 1860s, is a prime example of the fine craftsmanship of Clabburn, Sons and Crisp. The shawl's intricate design features a central medallion surrounded by a complex and balanced pattern of paisley motifs, creating a visual symphony of color and texture. The use of vibrant hues, including shades of pink, purple, and green, adds to the shawl's rich aesthetic. The shawl's fringed border, with its alternating colors, completes the design, showcasing the attention to detail that characterized the work of this renowned textile firm. Known for their exquisite Kashmiri shawls, the firm's creations were highly sought after during the Victorian era, and this stunning example continues to be appreciated for its beauty and craftsmanship.
