Shawl1870-1920Made in China (Probably for sale in Europe)V&A MuseumEmbroidered silk crêpe in silksSummary: This shawl is formed by two triangular pieces of silk, each with a knotted fringe. The wearer can choose the ground colour - red or yellow. In Britain, these fringed shawls were popular from about 1840 to 1910 because they were seen as ‘artistic’ and bohemian rather than as mainstream fashion accessories. -- source link
