Found out it is a Kashmir shawl, circa 1870 - very much in vogue in Europe and the US between about 1830 and 1870.  Thanks for all your help!

No info on value but I have found them online selling for between $250 and $850.  I was told they were worn and early Indian miniature portraitures show people wearing them.  This is a larger size made specifically for US and European markets - also for wear but have seen them noted as being used for a variety of things - wear, piano cover, coverlette, etc.
