In the close-up photos you can see the hand rolled edges that are so well done and those edges remain puffy and fresh looking.
Butterscotch and mustard gold colors form the overall plaid design of this 34 inch square.
The fabric has rich silk feeling and drape to it.
In the photos I show just a few classic ways to enjoy wearing this beautiful scarf.
Colors in this scarf are quite true and there are no faded areas so this scarf appears to have been well cared for by its original owner.
It has been freshly cleaned and will arrive at your door ready to wear.
As a bonus to the new owner this scarf will arrive with a complimentary magnetic-back brooch as shown in the photo.
Of course both the scarf and the brooch are wonderfully versatile accessories whether worn together or separately.
The only issue I can find to point out is there the fabric label is missing. Without a doubt this is silk however the fabric label is not there.
According to the Mantero company web site "In 1902 Riccardo Mantero emigrated from Novi Ligure to seek his fortune in Como where he set up a silk depot. The city served as an important crossroads for flourishing trade towards Northern Europe. In particular the silk industry was spiraling. The city was almost entirely engaged in the silk and textile trade (silk cotton linen and wool). 1902 saw the constitution of the “Ditta Riccardo Mantero”. In fact credit goes to Riccardo for having endowed the company with the two hallmark characteristics that were to remain the cornerstones of its activity: product versatility and unremitting quality."
It comes from a smoke-free pet-free home. In Excellent Vintage Condition it is free of tears snags rips odors or anything offensive that would keep you from wearing and enjoying this vintage Mantero scarf for many years to come.
