"Hardstone" diamond scarf

Blue. 100% natural cotton. 135 x 60 cm.

The design of this scarf is inspired by the motifs that make up the Writing desk of Nuncio Máximo (1749-1763), which is among the Museo del Prado's select collection of console tables with hardstone panels. Carved in the most exceptional hard stones from Florentine manufactories, it manifests the changing tastes of the modern period, which favoured naturalistic decoration with floral elements such as those reproduced in this original and beautiful cotton scarf.
