Victorian Fringed Silk Mourning Scarf

A stunning and evocative piece of Victorian mourning attire, this antique shawl is crafted from semi-sheer black silk with a soft hand and a subtle sheen that catches the light beautifully. Measuring approximately 66 inches long by 22 inches wide, it drapes elegantly whether worn or displayed.

Both long edges are selvedge, not hemmed or finished, showcasing the original woven edge — a hallmark of period craftsmanship and textile integrity. Each short end is adorned with delicate black silk fringe, adding a graceful finish true to 19th-century mourning fashion.

This shawl exemplifies the refined restraint of the era’s mourning customs, and would make a meaningful addition to any collection of antique textiles, costume, or Victorian ephemera.

A rare and beautiful survivor — elegant in its simplicity, rich in history.

Measures approximately 66" x 22"
