<p>[QUOTE="pentiques, post: 3735, member: 171"]So I guess we can agree to disagree. It is my opinion the striped shawl is machine made possibly in Scotland, England. They did make some paisley shawls in France. I would disagree about the piecing. I have been buying and selling paisleys for more than 35 years so I have handled many. Some have been pieced. I agree the pieced ones with the curves pieces are not common, I have had three, they sold for very high prices. I will also agree Kashmir shawls are made from goat hair. Many of them do not look like what most people think a paisley shawl looks like. I will also agree the use of the woven paisley did start to decline in the 1870-80s but was still popular and worn by many. I have to move on to something else. This striped shawl shown is usually a hard sell. I would say $125 would be excellent right now and $95 on the low side. I have decided to buy them only when they are very cheap. Did you know it was not uncommon for the family to cut up and distribute pieces of a shawl to family members when the owner died.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
