NWT METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART MMA “Four Seasons” Paisley Square SILK SCARF

Oversized silk square scarf - ~ 48”x50” 100% silk New with tags Based on a piece of fiber art at the Met: a 19th century shawl created in a Scotland (likely a grind design). Described as follows: Stylistically, this shawl demonstrates both a "four seasons" layout—in which the ground color is different in each of the quadrants—and an organization a la pivot, indicating the manner in which the vegetation swirls around a central point. The design for the shawl is probably French, but it may have been purchased by a Scottish manufacturer and jacquard-woven in Paisley.
