| |   Kashmir Blossoms Shawl ~ Taupe ~ Red Violet, Ruby, Firebrick, Blue Dusk Borders
Graceful, exceptionally romantic shawl embellished in Ariwork style with a background of Taupe and contrasting striped borders in shades of deep Red Violet, Ruby, Firebrick Red, and Dusk Blue. Boldly embroidered Lotus blossoms and leafy flowered boughs float quietly upon the field, created with tone-on-tone Taupe silken thread. Identical floral motifs in vibrant Saffron caress the borders, adding a richness of both hue and texture to this elegant wrap.
Designed to reflect the exquisite natural beauty which flourishes in the formal gardens of Srinagar, these enchanting Himalayan flowers echo a theme which has been depicted for centuries through the sensitive vision of the unparalleled Kashmiri shawl artisans. Loomed in smooth finish, subtle twill weave of lighter mid-weight Lambswool Pashm yarns with a gentle touch and beautiful drape, this dressy shawl is a contemporary expression styled in the fashion of the treasured hand embroidered Aari Shawls from the mountainous regions of Kashmir.
