This is a rarely seen Victorian silk cravat or Windsor scarf, possibly Edwardian era, difficult to date precisely.  I’ve included a couple of old catalog pages where you can see a similar piece.  The silk is patterned in what appears to be a cherry motif in green with a pink stem against a black background.  This Victorian silk cravat is constructed in three pieces - a narrow neck band with a widening piece affixed to either side.  Either end is folded over, sewn and finished in a point.  It is in very good condition except for a frayed area to one edge of the narrow neck piece (see last close-up photo of cravat) - perhaps a stitching is warranted to eliminate any further fraying.  Otherwise, there is no other noted staining, soiling, wear, tear or odour.  This Victorian silk cravat measures 48 1/2” in length and has a width of 4” at its widest.  Given the rarity of this Victorian silk cravat, the frayed area should be overlooked - it would be very difficult to find a similar example.  Beautiful quality silk with a vibrant pink accenting - gorgeous!
