This is an exceptional quality vintage Tessoria Asolana shawl.  Tessoria Asolana was founded in 1848 in Asolo, Veneto, Italy and is known for producing high quality hand loomed woven fabrics, often using silks and fine wools.  They have an international reputation, supplying lofty customers such as Buckingham Palace.  They have won prestigious awards and collaborated with renowned architects such as Gio Ponti and Carlo Scarpa.  This vintage Tessoria Asolana shawl is woven with various patterned segments in multiple colours and textures.  The fabric is soft and pliable and, I would think, made of silks and wools - please view the enlarged close-up photos.  There are also a few attached sequins.

Sizing: 30” by 68” excluding its pulled fringe edges, 70” including the 1“ fringe at either end.  

Age: most likely 1980s.

Label:  Tessoria Asolana

Condition:  This vintage Tessoria Asolana shawl is in very good condition - a few thread pulls and edge puckers at joins (see last two close-up photos).  Otherwise, no other wear, tear, soiling, staining or odour 

Beautiful quality vintage wool and silk shawl, pieces like this vintage Tessoria Asolana shawl are rarely offered - really a piece of wearable art!
