AT FIRST GLANCE IT SEEMS TO BE MADE OF A PAISLEY FABRIC, BUT GET CLOSER AND SEE THAT IT IS WOVEN WITH AN ALLOVER DESIGN OF MYTHICAL BEASTS LIKE WINGED GRIFFINS. THE ONLY THING THAT PREVENTS ME FROM KEEPING IT IS THAT IT IS TOO SMALL FOR ME. IN FACT IS IS FOR A VERY PETITE LADY WITH NARROW SHOULDERS. CONDITION IS OUTSTANDING FOR SUCH A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL PIECE. THERE IS ONE SMALL REPAIR IN THE SHOULDER WHICH WOULD BE VERY HARD TO NOTICE IN THE MULTICOLORED FABRIC AND BUSY DESIGN. WHAT A DISPLAY PIECE THIS COULD BE! A SHOW STOPPER FOR SURE. THE GRACEFUL LINES OF THIS STYLE WOULD FLOAT OVER ONE'S DRESS. THIS MANTLE IS TRIMMED IN A DARK BROWN VELVET LOOPED FRINGE. THE LINING IS A COCOA BROWN COTTON--ALL EXCELLENT. JUST TOO, TOO WONDERFUL! A RARE FIND FOR THE VINTAGE COLLECTOR.      SEE OUR OUTSTANDING FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
