Rose Wreath Silk Scarf

Navy blue floral silk scarf with a pretty botanical design based on an original early twentieth-century watercolour design for a handbag held in the Royal School of Needlework collection, a reminder of the meticulous hand-painted artistry that once preceded even small everyday accessories before mass production took hold. Founded in 1872, the Royal School of Needlework was established to preserve and elevate the standard of hand embroidery in Britain at a time when industrial manufacture threatened to displace traditional craft skills, and its archive remains an important record of that hand-worked heritage. The design may be paler on the reverse; dry clean only.
