Katie Larmour Studio is the original vintage scarf pillow maker. Gaining notability for her unique idea and creations back in 2013 - featured in the likes of the Financial Times, and first selling here on 1stdibs in 2016 - our creations are of the absolute top most quality, craftsmanship and finesse. Thank-you for looking. Title: Large Vintage Cartier Jewelry Red Ruby French Silk Scarf with Linen Pillow Gold White Cream Large custom made one-of-a-kind luxury cushion (pillow) created from an exquisite rare vintage pure silk Cartier fashion scarf in a striking print. It illustrates exotic panthers adorned with fabulous jewels in bold diagonals against an off-white, cream ground. Two elegantly prowl along thick luxurious gold chains above and below a prominent third central panther in white gold / or platinum playfully balancing a previous precious red jewel sphere in a statuesque pose. Elaborately framed in an exotic cat print pattern of pave set diamonds and elegant onyx stone, just like a lavish item of jewelry. The scarf’s panther theme is a variation of the famous ‘haute joaillerie’ piece originally created for Dutchess of Windsor Wallace Simpson. Considered one of jeweler Jean Toussaint's greatest triumphs for the Parisian brand, an empire which originated in 1847 with Louis-François Cartier, and one of his most whimsical, timeless and symbolic creations recognised all around the world. Cartier is a luxury Parisian empire which originated in 1847 with Louis-François Cartier and is recognised all around the world for their high end creations. The lavishly bejewelled creatures appear to be a reference to the brand’s signature necklaces, bracelets and earrings. On a thick quality twill silk with beautiful texture, diagonal grain and subtle sheen. It has a beautiful soft sumptuous feel to the touch and is in perfect condition. Backed in new 100% pure Irish linen, the aristocrat of textiles and certified by the Irish Linen Guild, lined in a layer of natural bamboo cloth, filled with new custom-made plush duck feather insert and a concealed zip. The traditional oatmeal color linen is a combination of the unbleached raw colour of the natural flax plant on the weft intertwined with pristine white on the warp, resulting in a beautiful melange effect. This bold and popping oversized design is without a doubt the ultimate luxurious statement piece and bijou accessory for an interior. Elegant, majestic, regal and glamorous it conjures sophistication and seductive luxury with an essence of feminine style. ‘The panther is the proud leader of the pack of precious animals that make up the famous Cartier menagerie.’ Assouline Publication A contemporary cushion (pillow) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Also see our other items listed here on 1stdibs which include a wide array and colourful rainbow of complimentary pieces. We also have this similar print in two other colourways, both listed here on 1stdibs, sapphire blue accents on a cream ground, and a spectacular green, which would be extremely complementary as a pair or set. Contemporary cushion (pillow) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Handcrafted in Ireland By designer-maker Katie Larmour This cushion is a one-of-a-kind and part of a sustainability project. It has been created from a repurposed, up-cycled, recycled fabric, used with the intentions on promoting a more eco-friendly environment. We both celebrate and cherish the past and take care with rare and precious vintage and antique materials. (this cushion frame can also be reversed back into a scarf and presented in a frame on request) Note on condition: This particular scarf displays slight markings, these are tiny, faint and barely noticeable. They are small, almost like dirty marks but the piece is fully laundered, likely very small colour transfers, perhaps during ironing in its previous life. They are small and just about visible in the photographs. We rarely create scarf cushions from non perfect specimens but in this instance the item is extremely beautiful. This is mentioned for clarity. We feel they do not take away from the item’s charm and beauty. This can be expected in vintage, formerly used / pre-loved textiles, there is no structural damage (no rips, plucks, holes, tears, snags, frays), or restoration. It is a very special colour way that we don’t come across often.
