About the Item

Circa 1930-1940. Egypt for export to France A black and silver stole from the Art Deco period, known as an Assuit shawl, made in Egypt for Western fashion during the 1920s and 1940s. This Egyptomania fashion trend emerged in Europe following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt in 1922. Here, the pattern is geometric with large interlocking diamonds. Handcrafted using a cotton net entirely punched with silver metal blades to form the design. In France, couturiers such as Paul Poiret, Babani and Gallenga created Art Deco dresses using this precious material, which has an impeccable fluid drape. A flawless shawl, the veil is surprisingly strong enough to support the weight of the metal. Very Good colour and condition. Easy to wear for a sophisticated evening. Dimensions: 220 cm x 55 cm.
