Black and White Silk Scarf

Maison Nazanin - Lion and Antelope - 100% Silk Scarf

Inspired by the rich visual language of Persian art, Lion and Antelope brings together strength and grace in a moment of tension. The lion, long a symbol of power, faces the antelope, symbol of elegance and alertness. Flowing lines and subtle rhythm give the design a sense of life and continuity, transforming contrast into a refined visual dialogue. The result is both expressive and composed, rooted in tradition yet distinctly modern.

Printed on pure silk, this large scarf offers a smooth finish and elegant drape, making it a versatile piece which can be worn around the neck or waist, and in many other ways.

• 100% pure Habotai silk
• Hand-rolled hems
• Smooth finish with elegant drape
• 86 x 135 cm
• Crafted in small production runs

The image on this scarf is our reinterpretation of a pen-and-ink drawing and watercolour depicting a lion attacking an antelope. Dating from the second half of the 16th Century and by an unknown artist, it is believed to have emanated from Eastern Turkey, but it could also have been created in North West Persia.
