Mary Delany Floral Silk Scarf
Exclusive to the British Museum, a silk twill scarf inspired by the floral artworks of Mary Delany.
This gorgeous square scarf features a colourful array of botanical artwork from the celebrated 18th century artist.
Mary Delany (1700–1788) mastered the art of imitating flowers by using tiny pieces of paper to build up her intricate “mosaicks”. She began creating her incredible artwork at the tender age of 72, and went on to produce nearly a thousand pieces.
Many of Mrs. Delany’s collages are now housed in the Prints and Drawings department at the British Museum, having been bequeathed in 1897 by Mary’s grand-niece Augusta Hall.
A beautiful gift for a lover of florals.
