1670 Handwoven Silk Assamese Scarf

Handwoven Silk Assamese Scarf - White + Gold - Recently Made

Beautiful Silk scarf / shawl from Assam in North East India.

White field with supplementary thread weaving in a rustic shade of gold / beige on the ends and in the field.

Superfine nuni silk that is very soft and very sheer - almost buttery quality that is hard to put into words! 

The ends are finished traditionally with the loose threads tied into knots to form a fringe.

Assam weavings are rarely seen outside Assam as the production is very limited and all the production gets consumed in the home state itself.

The few that reach other markets are among the most expensive handlooms available in India.

Very elegant. Would make a perfect gift.

Made by an awarded masterweaver.

Less than 10 years old but will certainly be a treasured heirloom saved for the future generations.

140 cm x 88 cm

 Minor spots to be expected as this is a light shade and handled extensively during the hand weaving process.
