Vtg Metropolitan Museum Of Art Scarf “LOVE” 100% Silk NWOT Classic Blue & Ivory.

This is a vintage Metropolitan Museum of Art silk scarf featuring a beautiful, monochrome toile-inspired alphabet design that spells out the word "LOVE" across its four quadrants.

Each letter is intricately constructed using neoclassical figures, botanical elements, and cherubs typical of 18th-century French textiles.

The Letter "L": Shaped by a standing classical figure in traditional rural or periodic attire holding a staff and a basket, accompanied by tall stalks of blooming flowers.

The Letter "O": Formed as an ornate botanical wreath or garland supported by two cherub/putti figures on either side, with a central floral sprig.

The Letter "V": Constructed out of twining vines and dense foliage with a cherub resting within the left branch and a detailed floral arrangement flanking the side.

The Letter "E": Anchored by a standing figure holding a long horn or trumpet that forms the middle bar, surrounded by thistles and wild flora.The perimeter of the square scarf is beautifully finished with delicate floral corner sprays and a contrasting deep purple hand-rolled border.
