Bidspirit auction | Etro Silk Scarf with Neoclassical

Etro Silk Scarf with Neoclassical Animalier Print, Carre 90 - This authentic Etro foulard is crafted from 100% silk and features an intricate neoclassical design with animalier motifs. The composition is centered around a circular medallion and four large ovals set against a vibrant red field. The pattern includes detailed vignettes of exotic animals such as flamingos, swans, lions, and monkeys, framed by scrolling acanthus leaves, floral vines, and geometric latticework. The color palette includes primary red with accents of cream, pale yellow, light blue, and pink. The scarf is finished with high-quality hand-rolled and hand-stitched edges. The designer logo is integrated into the print, and the original fabric composition label is attached. Made in Italy. Approximately 90 cm x 90 cm.   Etro's Carre 90 in neoclassical animalier print occupies an interesting position in the silk scarf market - Etro's paisley and pattern heritage gives its scarves a different chromatic sensibility than Hermes while maintaining comparable silk twill quality. The neoclassical animalier (animal within classical architectural settings) is a design tradition with roots in 18th century decorative arts, and Etro's interpretation reflects the Milanese house's deep engagement with European decorative history.
