Paisley shawls with a history will be included in the women’s section exhibit at the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition, which opens on November 8. Some of the shawls are hundreds of years old, and the collection will include the finest examples of Paisley crafstsmanship. Other interesting articles in the loans section will be snuff boxes, Charles II spoons, and a Queen Anne period wedding veil, all articles that belonged to New Zealand’s pioneers, the treasured possessions of settlers’ wives in the earliest days of the Dominion’s development.
