<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 8162865, member: 1476"]It's a <i>mantón de Manila</i> from Spain, Ted. And from what I can see a quite pretty one. Hard to tell age from one photograph -- and they're still made today. Quality is based upon the material, the weight of the fringe, and the expertise of the embroiderer. Silk is a good sign, all-over embroidery is a good sign. Please post a close-up photograph of a section of the front, the back and the fringe. Also rough measurements of both the center and the fringe. And does it have soiling in the center?</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]425640[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
