Description
Along with all the various styles of capes and loose wraps, large hand embroidered Chinese silk shawls with long hand knotted fringes became a very popular fashion accessory in the 1920s.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries silk shawls were embroidered in Canton (Guangdong), South China and Indonesia for the export trade to the Americas and Europe.
