    Hello! I woud like to help identifying a scarf I recently purchased at a charity sale. The items at the sale were brought from Liechtenstein, and I suspect the scarf is vintage.
    There are inscriptions written in cursive script on the golden ornaments, but they are difficult to decipher.
    Material: Likely natural silk (based on touch).

    There is no visible tag or designer signature, and I have been unable to find this design using Google image search.
    Does anyone recognize this design? Could it be from a well-known brand or a specific designer? Any information regarding its origin or similar examples would be greatly appreciated
    Dimensions: 76 x 76 cm
    Weight: 34 grams

    Thank you ❤️

    Is the hem hand-rolled? (It appears to be.) But not silk twill? (It doesn't appear to be.)

    Nautical theme. Good quality. But doesn't look like Hèrmes. Without a brand signature or tag... Hum... Not going to be easy to identify maker. Colorway is 1970s.

    Here's one from Hérmes with similar motif in similar colorway for comparison. Could well be the inspiration for yours.

    Hérmes example both signed and named. Difference in quality easy to see.
