LOVELY EXTRA WIDE ANTIQUE EGYPTIAN ASSUIT SHAWL. OFF WHITE, SILVER. ART DECO
Item History & Price
I am in the United KIngdom and I ship worldwide.This auction is in Pounds Sterling and not in Dollars or Euros. I only charge the actual postage costs, no hidden extras.
A lovely antique Egyptian Assuit shawl which is extra wide.It is 84 inches long (213.5 cm) by 38 inches wide (96.5 cm).The net or mesh is off white with silver metal thread used to embroider the design.It weighs 740 grams or 1 pound and 9 ounces, so quite a lot of silver, which makes it drape well.The silver glitter...s beautifully when it catches the light.CONDITION.There are no areas of dark tarnish, no holes, tears or repairs.There are some light fold lines and some small areas where the metal has slightly darkened.Some of the silver has a slight pale golden hue. All of these things are quite usual in these Antique Assuits so I am mentioning them for accuracy.I have done photos of both sides in two halves so you can see how it looks.There are a few pale small marks (See photo for example).These may well come out if the shawl is washed but in any case they will not show when worn.I have not washed, it as some buyers prefer antique textiles left as they with age related patina and in any case it doesn’t really need to be done.
POSTAGE.UNITED KINGDOM Guaranteed Delivery £8.60.
EUROPE International Tracked and insured will cost £15.05.
REST OF THE WORLD International Tracked and insured will cost £18.06.
I don’t accept returns unless I have failed to mention any damage or misdescribed the item.
