Embroidery - 160 cm - 150 cm

Spectacular antique mantón from Manila, silk embroidered by hand, early 20th century, with a precious floral design featuring butterflies and birds of paradise on a deep red background and a very high-quality, intricately knotted macramé, a true marvel to look at. It measures 160 x 150 cm plus 57 cm of fringe and weighs 1.1 kg, which underlines that it is a mantón of the highest tier. It has a few small holes as shown in the photos, but the silk remains strong and not worn through. Overall, it is in fairly good condition considering its age and the fragility of silk. A true jewel that you shouldn’t miss; extremely difficult to find a mantón of this caliber. It is delivered as shown in the photographs.
