Colorful Art Deco Silk Jacquard Printed Shawl

Dating to the 1920s this printed silk shawl would have been an alternative to the heavy embroidered shawls. Just as beautiful and textural because of the tone on tone pattern of the silk jacquard that the shawl is printed on. The pattern of butterflies and water lilies would have been popular as subject matter of the period. A stylized floral border serves to frame the colorful pattern.
