Description



DESIGNER'S NOTES A subtle but colourful Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf featuring a delicate floral design in prominent blues and reds over an ivory ground. This design is a sophisticated blend of Eastern floral motifs and Western book arts. Its pattern is a direct homage to the 16th-century illuminated borders found in luxury prayer books and herbals, which often featured all-over floral vines to frame sacred text. The design captures the high-Renaissance fascination with Ottoman Iznik ceramics; the vibrant cobalt blue rosettes, tomato-red carnations, and emerald-green Saz leaves are hallmark Turkish influences that traveled via trade routes into European studios. By translating these 'Orientalist' ceramic glazes onto a cream, parchment-like background, the artist created a bridge between the precision of Persian courtly art and the delicate hand-painted aesthetics of European manuscript illumination. COLOURS STYLING A Fox & Chave habotai silk scarf can be worn with the classic knot style or a pussycat bow. You can even create a shawl effect by knotting two scarves together behind your neck and allowing them to drape over your shoulders. More scarf styling ideas are available in this wonderful  How to Tie a Scarf  book. Length: 180 cm Width: 52 cm Dry clean only 100% Habotai Silk Hand Rolled Hems Made in China
