Russian shawls...

One delights in the symphony of the deeply saturated rainbow colours of Pavlovsky shawls as if it is a picture of the vast world of Russian nature. The crimson-red roses, luxuriant white lilies,dahlias,peonies,nasturtiums,phloxes,
flaming poppies,snow-white camomiles and blue
bellflowers bloom as if alive against a background of black, cherry-coloured,blue,orange or ivory, bordered by the emerald green of leaves or of springtime grass,sometimes by juicy,as if slightly moist berries,twigs of the rowan tree...

 

To be sure,it is only the magic brash of the skilled artist that can depict all this wealth,depict life itself in a textile ornament.

Shawls may by quite different in their artistic pattern,their bright design may very in character,colour and size.The great variety of shawls is also due to the different intricate ways in which the fringe and tassels are knitted.
