Condition
 
Left in "as found" condition. These shawls are very popular and widely collected. They are not my area of expertise and I am leaving restoration and cleaning up to the discretion of the customer. 
 
The shawl shows some two L shaped tears in the mustard part of the cloth close to the border edge. Several small stains and discoloration in mustard part of cloth. Several small holes in mustard part of cloth and in border areas with one largish hole in paisley border. Colors are good and even in the border except for two tiny spots. 
 
Would be beautiful framed, upscaled or reproduced.
