Manila shawl, Cantanese, from the late 19th century (Qing era) Monochrome embroidery in gold thread on black silk - 19th century Era / Period: 19th century (late Qing Dynasty, approx. 1870-1890) Origin: Canton, China (Intended for the Spanish export market) Material: 100% natural silk crepe, embroidered with golden metallic threads (gold/plated silver thread). Exceptional and very rare Manila Cantonese shawl from the late 19th century, made on a black natural silk crepe cloth. The piece stands out for its magnificent and profuse monochrome embroidery executed entirely in bright gold thread with great sheen. The design features a rich symmetrical composition with large medallions and cartouches lavishly decorated with densely interwoven vegetal motifs, where imperial peonies, lotus flowers, and dense foliage with pronounced relief stand out. The needlework is of extreme meticulousness (needle painting), with a three-dimensional relief and texture that catch the light exceptionally. The four corners are richly finished, maintaining a perfect symmetry highly valued in high-era pieces. A textile piece of high collection value, suitable for collectors of historical clothing or Oriental textile art. Bibliography: Stone, Caroline (2013). The Silk Road: The Manila Shawl and Its Origins. This work is the international bible of textile trade between Canton, Manila and Spain during the Qing dynasty. It explains how pieces embroidered with monochrome metallic threads (gold) were reserved for luxury export and the European aristocracy. Lama Hernández, Yolanda (2010).

A specific study on Chinese embroidery techniques of "needle painting" applied to Indian and Spanish tastes of the Isabeline era. In the international art textile auction and collecting market, shawls embroidered in multicolored threads are the most common, but monochrome embroidery on black silk made entirely with golden metallic threads is considered highly valued rarities.
