CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL SILK CHIFFON SCARF

The flower motifs on this 71"x 22" scarf are taken from 14th-century medieval French Lady’s Book of Hours, housed in the Canterbury Cathedral Library. The central area of the scarf is a deep vibrant blue, and is strewn with dark purple violets, green leaves and buds, and light pink flowers, possibly dianthus; on each end is a wide border of the same blossoms on a lighter blue background. In the language of flowers, violets represent innocence, modesty, decency, and fidelity; dianthus represent similar virtues. The scarf is beautifully made—the hems of the scarf are hand rolled and sewn, not machine stitched. The colors are bright and clear but because the scarf is chiffon, have a certain transparency. It is easily tied in a variety of ways and is large enough to wear as a light shawl. Made in England. #05-41568 • $98
