Description and Details
This antique Art Deco silk printed handkerchief captures the bold, geometric style and vivid colour palette associated with early 20th century design. The square piece measures approximately 21.5 x 21.5 cm (8.5 x 8.5 in) and features a crisp printed motif with rich, eye-catching colour. The fabric is fine silk, soft to the touch and draping beautifully when handled.
The strong Art Deco graphic pattern reflects the aesthetic of the era, making this handkerchief a striking accessory for vintage fashion styling and an interesting example of period textile design. Whether used as a pocket square accessory in classic dress fittings, displayed within a collection of antique textiles, or framed as a piece of graphic art, this colourful silk piece has both visual impact and historical charm.
Condition Notes
The handkerchief retains vibrant print and good overall surface condition. As with all antique silks, there may be minor age marks or slight wear consistent with its age. These marks are typical for genuine vintage textiles and do not significantly detract from the design or overall appeal.
