Scarf

European

Not on view

While the specific origins of this scarf have not been identified, the floral patterning is typical of traditional European folk costume. The subtle gradation of colors is achieved through a skillful combination of weaving and dyeing. The beautiful color palette is evocative of autumn. The scarf was given to the collection by Millicent Rogers, who not only amassed a notable collection of haute couture garments, she also collected folkloric clothing and accessories for her own use.
