Art Deco Green & White Silk Scarf Shawl | 1920s–1930s V-Shaped Silk Wrap
This Art Deco era silk scarf or shoulder shawl features a V-shaped design in vivid emerald green with creamy white stylized leaf motifs and margin. The eometric composition and simplified botanical patterning are wonderfully evocative of late 1920s to early 1930s textile design, combining strong Deco lines with an almost modernist sensibility.
The scarf is cut in a long pointed V shape, allowing it to drape beautifully over the shoulders as a capelet-style accessory or to be worn tied loosely at the front. The lightweight silk has a soft fluid drape and semi-sheer quality typical of fine period silk scarves.
The crisp green and white palette gives the piece an especially fresh and wearable look that pairs beautifully with both contemporary and vintage wardrobes.
A rare and visually distinctive Art Deco accessory with exceptional display and styling potential.
