RARE 1940s Risqué Necktie - 1940s Hand Painted Silk Necktie - 1940s Pin Up Necktie - 1940s Burlesque Necktie - 1940s Novelty Necktie

Professional construction with no design or manufacture labels present. What a beauty! Gorgeous pale blue silk necktie, beautifully hand painted. The image is of a blonde woman seated in a chair, wearing only a feather wrap - presumably she is a performer, perhaps burlesque or showgirl. Her silhouette and line work may have been achieved with silk screening her detailing a all hand painted. Gorgeous detailing, sophisticated and a touch risqué, yet entirely tasteful.

Condition is listed as very good. Zero damage - there are some general signs of age and handling. No overt harsh spotting, however some light soiling is noted. Please zoom and review all photos. This item has not been cleaned. The seams were opened to show interior construction and hand painting, the tie was then sewn again. Presentation is fantastic. A great gift for the tie lover in your life or for burlesque ephemera enthusiasts. Such a killer collectors piece!
