*Stunning* vintage 1920s - 1930s Art Deco jewel tone silk velvet piano shawl

- Very good vintage condition - Silk or silk-rayon devoré - Can be worn as a scarf, shawl or wrap - 88” x 36” Super rare and collectible! Note this piece has been altered at a later date with modern edge stitching, likely to replace removed fringe or to stabilize fraying edges. Additional info on the item’s origin and era: - Material & weave: The fabric looks like silk velvet or rayon velvet burnout (devoré style), which became very popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The sheen, weight, and drape support this dating. - Design motifs: Large floral embroidery (chrysanthemums) paired with bold geometric striping is very characteristic of the late Art Deco period (c. 1920s–1930s). Oriental-inspired motifs were especially fashionable. - Shape & size: This rectangular format with embroidered panels suggests it was worn as a piano shawl or evening wrap — widely seen in the 1920s, when women draped them over drop-waist dresses, and into the 1930s, when longer gowns returned.
