This 19th century black pashmina shawl showcases a classic boteh (paisley) layout encircling a central medallion, with deep red and maroon jewel tones that still stand out beautifully against the dark ground.
Woven by hand in fine pashmina wool associated with the Kashmir region of India, the piece reflects the meticulous loom work and soft, feather‑light handle that made such shawls coveted heirlooms in the mid‑1800s.
The rich border of paisley motifs and central medallion give this shawl a distinctly regal character, while its supple drape makes it a striking companion to saris, evening dresses, and tailored winterwear for collectors who appreciate antique textiles.
Perfect for connoisseurs seeking distinguished pashmina shawls in America, this circa‑1850 black boteh piece brings archive‑inspired luxury 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...
