A lovingly made 100% pure silk art scarf with recognizable printed art patterns that are super lightweight, suitable for all season and many occasions. Would be an excellent gift. L180cm x W52cm Fabric Compostion: 100% Silk This pattern was inspired by an 1878 wallpaper Almond Blossom and Swallow, designed by Walter Crane (1845–1915), one of the leading exponents of the Aesthetic Movement and the first President of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society. Crane’s wallpaper designs were often narrative and show the influence of Japanese art on British culture. This wallpaper pattern was exhibited at the International Exhibition held in Paris in 1878, where it was awarded a gold medal. The original design is now housed at the V&A.
