Product Description
This is a large, reversible, jamawar shawl from India. The intricate, jacquard-woven, pattern is inspired by designs that date back to the Mughal Empire. Developed under royal patronage in India and embraced by 19th Century aristocrats in Europe, jamavar shawls are as rich in history as they are in design. The jamavar technique of weaving intricate, Persian-inspired motifs was brought to the Kashmir region of India in the 15th Century under the patronage of one of the kingdom's most admired rulers, Zain-ul-Abdin. Patterns in these early jamavars were created by using weft threads of various colors that did not run the full width of the fabric. Rather, they were woven back and forth in small areas to create the desired, tiny color blocks. These jamavars became fashionable with European aristocracy in the 18th Century. Because of the costly weaving technique, the patterns often covered just the edges and ends of the shawls. Even so, only the wealthiest people could afford them. The invention of the jacquard loom in the 19th Century meant that shawls with the traditional jamavar designs could be produced cost-effectively for a much larger market. And the motifs began to cover larger portions of the shawls. Today jamavar shawls are woven on automated, jacquard looms that are not very much different from those used in the 19th Century. Traditional motifs and colors remain popular. GL-5039
