Did You Know....
That shawls were around for 100 years? The first all-wool shawls were not made in Paisley until 1823.It was awkward to wear a coat with a crinoline frame or under wire. From 1840-75 shawls were made much larger to cover the widening skirt and frame. It was during this period that shawls really became popular. They are still considered beautiful textiles to this day.

Did You Know

"A backlight is a great tool to use when inspecting antiques and collectibles. It can detect repairs, flaws, cracks and paint over’s on porcelains and paintings. It can also be used to detect new vs. old paint on items. It is not 100% fool proof but it is quite accurate most of the time. New paint will show as dark areas on a painting, or it will glow a deep dark violet. Old paint on an antique piece will not glow deep violet, it will be transparent or even change color. White will react with a bright purple, but old paint is more transparent.!"
