Battistoni Silk Scarf with Flowering Branches, Birds and Butterflies on Cobalt Blue Silk, printed. Large square scarf by the Roman camiceria Battistoni with a hand-rolled hem, the label marked Made in France and 100% Reine Seide, the name BATTISTONI additionally printed into the design. On a cobalt blue ground, densely scattered flowering branches in cream and brown tones, between them birds and butterflies with yellow, green and orange accents; the central field framed by a band of lozenge cartouches, on the outside a wide dark blue border. Good condition, slightly thinned at one corner, 140x140 cm (LxW). The camiceria Battistoni was founded in 1946 by Guglielmo Battistoni in a courtyard on the Via Condotti in Rome and is still at the same address today. Out of the bespoke shirtmaking business grew a house for men's and women's fashion which, in the years of the Roman dolce vita, was among the leading addresses in the city; its clients included the Duke of Windsor, Audrey Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Charlie Chaplin and Andy Warhol. Alongside shirts and ties, printed silk scarves were always part of the range. A piece for admirers of Italian fashion and classic silk accessories.
