Vintage Jean Patou Paris Silk Scarf Folk Art Garden Scene India Inspired 33 x 34

This is a vintage silk scarf by Jean Patou Paris, featuring a detailed and highly decorative scene inspired by traditional Indian miniature painting and folk art.

The design is arranged in horizontal registers, depicting a stylized garden landscape with figures in flowing dress, animals, and lush vegetation. A central tree anchors the composition, surrounded by dancing figures and attendants, while the lower register shows boats, birds, and fish moving across a patterned river. The borders are filled with floral motifs and geometric ornament, giving the piece a tapestry-like visual effect.

The artwork is rendered in a soft yet vibrant palette of lavender, sky blue, pink, green, and golden yellow, with fine linework and a slightly textured printed finish that recalls hand-painted illustrations. Signed “Jean Patou Paris” within the design.  The edge is hand rolled and hand sewn to the back
