This is a nice vintage Pavlovo Posad silk & cotton blend shawl full of roses, autumn leaves & wild flowers. The print is effortless & elegant. Its size is 59x59 inches (150x150 cm) & it has silk or rayon fringe. It combines the nobleness of silk & sturdiness of cotton, with a lovely soft sheen & 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 & pure cotton shawls many years ago & you can only buy a vintage one now, which is a pity - these shawls are beautiful & 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. PLEASE NOTE: The shawl has not been worn, but it has several very light brownish stains from storage. This fringe is prone to tangling & unravelling. Please bear in mind that this is a vintage item & must be evaluated as such. The shawl is still very wearable & priced to sell. Please dry clean or machine wash cold & line dry.
