This shawl captures the opulence and decorativeness of the Art Deco period. Interest is added to the graceful pattern by the motifs encroaching upon the mesh central field, adding movement and vitality to the appearance. Perhaps what makes this garment even more special is its remarkable condition, for metallic lace is often tarnished.
