This is a very pretty vintage Pavlovo Posad silk and cotton blend shawl with a lovely rustic print, in the most endearing fall colours, with large pink roses and golden leaves.
Its size is 59×59 inches (150X150 cm) and it has silk or rayon fringe. It combines the nobleness of silk and sturdiness of cotton, with a lovely soft sheen and beautiful folds. The fabric is rather heavy, not flimsy at all. The texture is slightly nubby, like raw silk indeed.
This shawl is a fine example of Russian folk art, produced by the famous Pavlovo Posad Manufacture. They stopped producing silk blend and pure cotton shawls many years ago and you can only buy a vintage one now, which is a pity – these shawls are beautiful and comfortable. They are indispensable in the summer when you want to hide your shoulders from sun, or to protect yourself from an evening chill. For those who do not wear wool this is the best way to enjoy the beauty of a Russian shawl in a vegan option.
You can use it as a shawl, a throw, a lap blanket, you can hang it on a wall – so many uses! The flower garlands are very bright and elegant. You will treasure it for years to come.
PLEASE NOTE: I believe the shawl has not been worn. This fringe is prone to tangling and unravelling. Please bear in mind that this is a vintage item and can have a slight discoloration from storage, or a slight scent of the wooden chest where it was stored.
Please dry clean or hand wash cold with a mild detergent.
Please note that shipping from Uzbekistan to the US, Canada and Europe takes 3-5 weeks.
