The old master handwork exhibited is outstanding. The flamenco\/piano shawl was made of a high quality silk in a creamy ivory tone. It boasts beautiful \u0026amp; intricate hand silk embroidered high-relief, colorful floral motifs intwined in delicate vines \u0026amp; foliage. These elaborate pieces were often used for weddings and evening wraps. It takes thousands of hours to make such a piece. The shawl was finished with long, dramatic, lustrous, hand-knotted silk fringe. No doubt this long swaying fringe would be breathtaking during the movement of a flamenco dancer. This piece of textile history had interfacing added to the backside at some point in its life…preventing further damage  or unraveling! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistory: Spanish trading ships sailed a route between China, Philippines, Mexico, \u0026amp; docking in Seville, Spain in the 16th century. One of the items that originated from trading with Canton was the silk shawl. Women wore them folded \u0026amp; draped over shoulders. By the 18th century they became loved by women throughout the Spanish Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Great antique condition, but by no means perfect.  It has minor staining and one section of missing fringe (about 3”) and a few spots where the backing shows through in small split areas of the silk. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot including fringe-50”x48”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFringe length-18.5” long\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTotal measurements including fringe-68.5”x66.5” \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"gypsy-trading-post","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40451639050393,"sku":"GT158","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/product-image__7men0g7fo__3w9bnyvt2.png?v=1625093320","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/antique-1920s-large-and-exquisite-silk-hand-embroidered-manton-de-manila-spanish-shawl","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
