Stunning flutter scarf for the neck or hair, showing castles, dhow boats, plants, potted flowers, doves, flute players, women in pergolas, and shooting stars in black, green, white, hot magenta-pink, and hand-applied gold paint.

Each of the ribbons is double-sided with the illustration mirror-printed on the reverse side. The ribbons are jade-green, seafoam and cream, and they are folded to one side and invisibly seamed on the other; they are stitched to one another at the neck with a tag that reads: PURE SILK/“TRI-TIE”/MADE IN JAPAN.

These ties were produced by Baar & Beards in Occupied Japan in the 40s and 50s.

Excellent vintage condition; the only flaws are a tiny pinkish stain (see pic) and some folds from storage; silk is still luminous and the colours are box-fresh.

Measures: 20” x  1 1/4”.
