Starry Night | 1940s Fringed Rayon Square Scarf

Starry Night | 1940s Fringed Rayon Square Scarf

A tiny midnight world, framed in roses.

Dating to the 1940s, Starry Night is a remarkable vintage rayon scarf centered around a moonlit mountain landscape. A pale moon and scattered stars illuminate distant peaks, darkened trees and tiny tents, while oversized coral-red roses and olive-green leaves create a dramatic floral frame.

The deep midnight ground, softly timeworn color palette and ornate illustrated border give this piece the feeling of a treasured textile discovered in another era. Delicate fringe finishes the edges, adding movement and emphasizing its distinctly vintage character.

At 18 inches square, Starry Night is beautifully proportioned for wearing at the neck, tucked beneath a collar, tied to a handbag or displayed as a small piece of textile art. A rare and expressive scarf for the collector drawn to romantic landscapes, unusual prints and textiles that tell a story.
