Old Lao Shawl
stock number: 0932
price: $500.USD/$3800.HKD
description:
Vintage Laotian silk shawl textile. This item is 50 to 80 years old and said to be woven by the same village near Luang Prabang that were weavers for the former Lao royal family. Exceptionally fine weaving and difficult to source old Lao silk textile, I must have looked at over 200 textiles, during a recent trip to Laos, and these are only two that appeared to be genuinely old and not outrageously priced. The cover photo does not do this item justice so please note the enlargements to view the detail and warm colors that come only from old natural dyes. Excellent condition, no holes or tears- only a few “pulled” threads along the selvedge. L: 200cm/79in and W: 80cm/31.5in.
