Lyon Paisley Oversize Silk Scarf
An art scarf makes a unique gift.
A mid-19th-century swatch from a textile sample book in The Met's European Sculpture and Decorative Arts collection is reimagined as a classic paisley scarf for the modern day. The original textile samples were produced in the city of Lyon, which boasts a rich history of silk production. Once an important trade center for the import of Italian textiles, Lyon became the largest French producer of luxurious silks, with an estimated third of its population connected to the industry by the late 18th century.
