Assuit scarves were wildly popular in the 1920s. There was a craze for all things with an Egyptian slant thanks and these Assuit scarves were among the most prized things to get ones hands on. An Assuit scarf is made from a fine cotton mesh fabric that has tiny little squares of real silver hammered and folded into the mesh - in essence the metal is wrapped around the mesh to form that fantastic design that you see. The scarf is literally covered with these little silver squares. On this one the pattern has a strong Art Deco feel with large diamond shapes and geometrical patterns highlighted with tassels designs along the edge. These originate from the Assuit region of Egypt and have been produced since biblical times. You can still find them today but the original, antique and vintage ones are heavier and are completely hand done. It is a thing of beauty and a wonderful example of the level of craftsmanship and care put into garments during this time period.

The edges are hand rolled and stitched. There are areas of slight oxidation to the silver here and there were time has darkened the silver but I do not consider this a flaw as it is natural patina and adds to its appeal. I see a couple of minor storage marks here and there but again nothing that is out of the ordinary for a piece this age. I find no breaks to the net.

This is the second collection of headpieces for Shrimpton Couture, designed and made by hand by the talented Lucia Echavarría of the Magnetic Midnight label. Both this collection and the first that we did together draws its inspiration from some of the most famous headpieces in fashion’s history. Each collection, along with each individual headpiece, is exclusive to Shrimpton Couture.

This collection has been named Egyptomania and Lucia drew her inspiration from ancient Egyptian art and its presence in our cultural imagination. Egyptomania was a term used for the fascination with all things Egyptian in the nineteenth century, a fascination that spread to architecture, art and literature. The movement culminated in the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922; after which, Egyptian motifs pervaded modern culture, art and fashion, becoming an integral part of the language of Art Deco. Cleopatra, its most famous queen, and her countless portrayals in art, literature and film throughout history, equally embodies this fascination with a magnificent past.

Each of the twelve pieces in the collection plays tribute to the dialogue between old and new in a palette combining rich black and gold velvet with gold sequins, mirrors and beads with hints of turquoise, coral and blue. Each is a one of a kind, made by hand masterpiece that feels modern yet evocative and like an incredible vintage find that is both timeless and unique.

The Nefertiti headpiece features vertical stripes and a a circular pattern embroidery of gold and black beads. This piece is entirely handmade and a one off. As a result it may have slight imperfections, which only add to the uniqueness of the piece. To clean any mirrored surfaces, please gently and carefully wipe with a soft cotton cloth moistened with alcohol. In order to protect this piece, please store it in the hard-sided box that it will ship in.

In the 1960s Pierre Cardin produced a series of modernistic animal pendants. They were huge and made out of a silver toned metal. Each has a with a good, decent feeling weight to them and each hangs suspended from the same chunky silver chain. There is at least a half dozen animals in the collection and this is one of two that I currently have in the shop. I love the 'space age' aesthetic they have, a signature of his work during this era. This one features an elephant and the pendant is both massive and dramatic. It is a perfect statement piece that you can wear with anything. It is signed at the back. Excellent condition

The elephant measures 4.5" across at the widest point and is 5.5" top to bottom including the large loop clasp that attaches it to the chain. The chain is 21" end to end and has a clasp closure that allows you to adjust the length.
