Square Silk Scarf

Maison Nazanin - Kai Kavus - 100% Silk Scarf

A richly expressive silk scarf inspired by the dramatic world of Persian epic — where power, ambition, and imagination are brought to life through vivid colour and intricate design.

• 100% Crepe de Chine silk
• Hand-rolled hems
• Lightweight, fluid drape
• Inspired by Persian Safavid Art
• 64 x 64 cm

Bold and dynamic, the Kai Kāvus design reflects the grandeur and intensity of royal legend, translating the visual language of Persian miniature painting into a piece that feels striking, confident, and distinctive.


Kai Kavus was a king of Persia, known for his capricious nature. The scene on this scarf is from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) by the 11th Century Persian poet Abu'l Qasim Firdausi. The king attempts to fly by tying hungry eagles to his throne, lured by meat dangled above them. The experiment ends in failure, to the bemusement of his courtiers.

The original painting, by the 16th Century Persian artist Qadimi, is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
