Jewel colours on a cream ground, with Dior's long attachment to flowers and foliage translated into abstract form. The hand-rolled edge and French manufacture mark it as a carefully finished silk square.
This Christian Dior silk scarf dates from the 1980s. It is printed with abstract botanical motifs in scarlet, orange, emerald and purple on a cream ground, with hand-rolled edges. It measures 77.5 cm square and was made in France.
Jewel colours, set on cream.
Marc Bohan led Christian Dior from 1961 to 1989 and was twice awarded the Dé d'Or, in 1983 and 1988. In this period the house name appeared on a broad range of accessories, and silk scarves carried Dior design to customers far beyond the couture salons.
The 1980s favoured strong, saturated colour, in clothing as much as in accessories. A printed silk square offered an easy way to bring that colour into an outfit, worn at the neck, on the shoulders or tied to a bag.
The botanical forms are rendered abstractly, with the jewel tones standing out against the cream ground. The hand-rolled edges are a sign of careful finishing, and the scarf was made in France. Slight signs of wear are consistent with age.
Finished by hand at the edge.
Flowers and foliage remain central to Dior's visual language. A 1980s silk square with an abstract botanical print shows one way the house interpreted that theme in a decade of bold colour.
Vintage Christian Dior silk scarves are widely collected and worn, especially those with strong colour and house themes.
Silk marks and fades with use, so scarves with clear colour and intact hand-rolled edges are valued.
Flowers and foliage remain recurring themes at Dior, linking period scarves to the house's wider history.
