Scarf, 19th–early 20th century

Scarf of cream-white satin, embroidered in polychrome silk design of large rose clusters of seeds and small sketched flowers in the center. Border of naturalistic vine and flower design. In shades of red, rose, white, and blue. Satin stitch and embroidery skillfully done, appearing the same on both sides. Selvedges of silk at each side appear to me machine made material. Scarf ends with deep white silk fringe.
