Rare Italian Vintage Salvatore Ferragamo Silk Scarf Cushion Large

About the Item

Title: Rare Italian vintage Salvatore Ferragamo silk scarf with Irish linen cushion pillow pink gold black Custom-made one-of-a-kind cushion (pillow) created from a stunning rare vintage, circa 1970s silk Salvatore Ferragamo fashion scarf in an elaborate flora and fauna design. Salvatore Ferragamo was an innovative shoe designer from Milan renowned for his iconic 1930s cork wedges and the 1947 ‘invisible shoe’. In fact in the 1980s Ferragamo used his early shoe designs as prints on their scarves. He first introduced silk scarves to his collections in the 1950s, the earliest depicting African zoological animals and flora theme, the brand is still known today for producing exotic animals and organic motifs on their luxury scarves. This particular silk is a very rare and exceptional piece, and we feel the zebra find is more unique than their usual tigers and large cats, a very special piece to add to our growing collection of treasure and finds. The charming zebra gracefully appears set within an oval frame, surrounded by luscious foliage, exquisite flowers and colourful birds, on a warm, pretty rose pink ground with beautiful antique golden accents and a soft sumptuous sheen. It would make a spectacular and dramatic statement piece for an interior. Matched with velvet or rattan furniture or velvet sofa would be superb. Also see our other items listed here on 1stdibs which include a wide array and colourful rainbow of complimentary pieces. Contemporary cushion (pillow) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Hand-picked by Katie at antiques market ‘Marche aux Puces Saint-Ouen’ on the outskirts of Paris. Handcrafted in Ireland By designer-maker Katie Larmour Katie Larmour Studio is the original vintage scarf pillow maker. First selling here on 1stdibs in 2016, our creations are of the absolute top most quality and finesse. Thank-you for looking. This cushion is a one-of-a-kind and part of a sustainability project.
