Hot Chinese Phoenixes And Peonies Oblong Velvet Burnout Scarf Scarves & Wraps

An Art Scarf Inspired By The Met Collection.

Symbolizing Noblewomen, The Phoenixes And Peonies On This Luxurious Velvet Burnout Scarf Are Borrowed From A Vivid Velvet Chair Strip Made In 18Th-Century China During The Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). This Elegant Textile In The Met’S Asian Art Collection Would Have Been Placed On A Chair Reserved For The Host Of A Celebration Within A Traditional Chinese Reception Hall, Lending A Touch Of Comfort And Beauty To Their Special Seat. The Feminine Symbolism Likewise Suggests That This Piece Was Suitable For Use In A Lady’S Quarters.
