Thank-you for looking. Title: Rare Italian Vintage Salvatore Ferragamo Silk Scarf with Irish Linen Cushion Pillow Pink Gold Black Description: Large 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 dramatic dark ground with beautiful antique golden accents, a rich warm and pretty rose pink throughout, and a soft sumptuous sheen. It would make a spectacular and dramatic statement piece for an interior. Matched with velvet or rattan furniture would be superb. Please look at our other items listed here on 1stdibs which include a wide array and colourful rainbow of complimentary pieces. We have a whole array of Salvatore items available here on 1stdibs.
