It is an oversized shawl collar and is from the mid 1800's and one of the most complex pieces you will ever see. I have taken lots of photos and covered every inch so be sure and zoom in so you can appreciate the quality of the work as well as the detail and condition. It has no noted flaws and is white.
It is very strong and sound, clean and measures 42" along the top edge, is 5-1/2" deep and is 80 along the bottom edge. This is a "must have" for the serious collector and is a textile work of art! Most textiles I sell are in ready to use condition and any flaws will be clearly stated. My linens are labours of love and I take great pride in offering the finest selection, condition and variety of unique and special pieces.
