"Main Warp Fringe: A Journey Through 19th Century Shawls and Textiles" Step back in time with these exquisite shawls and textiles that showcase the artistry of unknown creators from various corners of the world. Among them, a Long Shawl from France in 1845 captures attention with its intricate design and delicate fringes. Its counterpart from 1825/75 presents a different yet equally captivating pattern, highlighting the evolution of French fashion during this period. Venturing beyond France, we discover a Square Shawl dating back to approximately 1850, originating from an anonymous artist's hands. The meticulous craftsmanship displayed on this piece transports us to another era altogether. Similarly, a Square Shawl created in the 1870s showcases the timeless elegance that continues to captivate even today. Norwich makes its mark on our journey with a Long Shawl crafted between 1820-25. Although its creator remains unknown, their skill is evident through every stitch woven into this remarkable textile. Crossing continents to New York City in 1854, we encounter an enigmatic Bedcover whose origins remain shrouded in mystery. Yet it serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of cultures interwoven within America's history. The Burnoose stands out amidst our collection—a Narrow Shawl or Scarf hailing from France around 1862—its allure lies not only in its unique name but also in its distinct style that sets it apart from other pieces showcased here. Returning once more to French soil, we are presented with another Square Shawl dating back to roughly 1850-75—an embodiment of grace and sophistication reminiscent of bygone eras. As our journey nears completion, Europe beckons us with an unidentified Long Shawl hailing from the expansive continent itself during the entire span of the nineteenth century—a true representation of European textile heritage waiting for curious eyes like ours.
