Chinese Phoenixes and Peonies Oblong Velvet Burnout Scarf
An art scarf inspired by The Met collection.
Symbolizing noblewomen, the phoenixes and peonies on this luxurious velvet burnout scarf are borrowed from a vivid velvet chair strip made in 18th-century China during the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). This elegant textile in The Met's Asian art collection would have been placed on a chair reserved for the host of a celebration within a traditional Chinese reception hall, lending a touch of comfort and beauty to their special seat. The feminine symbolism likewise suggests that this piece was suitable for use in a lady's quarters.
