Must de Cartier Silk Scarf with Jewelry and Chain Link Motif - A square silk scarf by Cartier featuring a jewelry and equestrian-inspired pattern. The design is centered around a cream-colored diamond set against a periwinkle blue field with a cream-toned border. The pattern incorporates interlocking gold chain links, rope motifs with tri-color yellow, white, and rose gold style clasps, and repeating circular medallions containing the interlocking C Cartier logo. Each corner is adorned with a large, faceted pear-shaped diamond pendant illustration. The scarf is finished with hand-rolled edges. The lower right corner features screen-printed text reading must de Cartier PARIS. A fabric tag attached to the edge specifies 100% silk and origin in France. The item is accompanied by its original red must de Cartier presentation sleeve. Approximately 34 inches by 34 inches. This must de Cartier silk scarf encodes the full vocabulary of the house: chain links, equestrian rope motifs, and a central diamond framed in tri-color gold suggesting yellow, white, and rose gold. The design is a document of Cartier's aesthetic identity in the 1980s, when the must de Cartier line was at its height. The silk is printed in rich periwinkle and cream, with the kind of detailed execution that reflects the original design briefs Cartier issued to its in-house artists.
