This 19th century black pashmina shawl features a classic boteh (paisley) layout flowing into a striking chand-style centre medallion, with deep maroon and black tones that remain beautifully clear despite their age.
Woven by hand in fine pashmina wool linked to the Kashmir region of India, the piece captures the softness, light warmth, and meticulous detailing that made Kashmiri shawls treasured symbols of luxury in the mid‑1800s.
The encircling paisley motifs and central medallion give this shawl a regal, gallery-worthy character, while its fluid drape lets it sit elegantly over saris, evening gowns, and tailored winterwear for collectors who love antique textiles.
An inspired choice for admirers of pashmina shawls in America, this circa‑1850 black chand medallion piece brings archive-level Kashmiri artistry into a wearable, statement-making wrap.

Being born and brought up in Kashmir, I grew up surrounded by the rhythm of weaving and the soft murmur of artisans discussing colours, patterns, and textures. Every day, I would see them visiting our karkhana — some carrying freshly finished shawls, their threads shimmering in the light, and others bringing small samples of colour combinations, waiting for my father’s approval with quiet pride. These artisans are not just craftsmen; they are storytellers of Kashmir’s soul. Through their skilled hands, generations of artistry come alive — each weaves a reflection of patience, devotion, and beauty. At Kepra, we honour their spirit by creating a bridge between tradition and the modern world, where every Pashmina remains a symbol of love, heritage, and timeless human connection. Read more...
