Mantle
Early 1870s
This mantle appears to have been made from a wool shawl woven with broad bands of boteh motifs, originally with a central medallion now cut in half at the base of each side to fall attractively over arms in wear, and quarter medallions at each corner that are now placed at each side of the centre front and back of the garment.
Shawls striped with pattern, sometimes known as zebra shawls, were an alternative to the ubiquitous style of broad borders to a plain ground or central motif. Particularly popular from the 1820s to the 1860s they were produced by European manufacturers as well as the original Indian avid Kashmiri centres.

Record Group 241: Records of the Patent and Trademark Office
Series: Utility Patent Drawings
Image description: Drawing of a doll shaped like a lady wearing a Victorian dress with a large skirt and bustle. She is holding up her skirt, showing her feet. Cutaway views show that she doesn’t have legs but instead has a wheel with eight feet on it, so that as a child pushes the doll across the floor, the doll appears to take steps.
