Burgundy Navy Geometric Silk Twill Head Scarf

Great Depression · 1930s · British

A square silk twill head scarf featuring a geometric border design with repeating circular medallions in burgundy and navy blue on a cream ground. The central field displays a regular grid of small circular motifs in alternating colors against the red base. The border consists of interlocking circles creating a chain-like pattern, with corner treatments that maintain the geometric rhythm. The silk twill construction provides body and drape suitable for head covering, while the machine-printed design demonstrates 1930s commercial textile production. Liberty & Co's retail association reflects the period's taste for accessible luxury goods with Eastern-influenced geometric patterns.
