Highlights

Vintage Mid-Century Silk Brocade "Temple" or "Piano" Shawl. This exquisite piece features a vibrant deep red (vermilion) ground adorned with intricate, hand-loomed gold zari metallic thread work. The design is a classic "East meets West" heritage pattern, showcasing regal architectural arches, running antelopes/gazelles, and a central floral mandala.
Design & Craftsmanship:
Motifs: Features detailed Persian-style arches, stylized animals, and ornate floral borders.
Weave: Authentic silk brocade (Zari) where the pattern is woven directly into the fabric, visible on the reverse side.
Signature: Includes a unique weaver's signature in Arabic/Persian script in the corner, denoting its artisanal origin.
Fringe: Finished with a luxurious, multi-tiered hand-knotted "macramé" silk fringe that adds significant movement and weight.
Specifications:
Size: Approximately 43" x 43" (110cm x 110cm) — a "Giant Square" format.
Material: High-quality Silk with Metallic Zari thread.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no visible pulls or stains. Fringe is intact and untangled.
Styling & Use:
This versatile piece can be worn as a formal evening wrap, a bohemian head covering, or used as a high-end decorative "piano shawl" for home interiors. Its weight and size provide a beautiful drape typical of 1950s-70s luxury textiles.
