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. 
 
For the most part this shawl is in very good condition with only a some small pinholes here and there and some little holes at the edges.  There is one visible old darned repair at one edge. Colros are good and strong and with a professional clean should be stunning. 
 
Would be beautiful framed, upscaled or reproduced.
