This exquisite vintage scarf is a beautiful example of mid-20th-century Thai craftsmanship. Labeled "Hand-Woven in Siam" by Usha Thai Silk, Bangkok, it likely dates from the 1950s to early 1970s, a period when Thai silk gained international recognition. The use of "Siam" in the branding evokes the timeless mystique and luxury of old Thailand.
Measuring 20 inches wide by 88 inches long, this scarf features a long, elegant rectangular shape, perfect for draping over the shoulders, wrapping around the neck, or wearing as a luxurious shawl. The pure handwoven silk boasts a natural sheen and subtle iridescence that shifts beautifully with the light β a signature of authentic Thai silk.
This piece is a testament to the golden era of Thai silk production when Bangkok-based ateliers like Usha created high-quality textiles for export to discerning buyers. With its clean finish and timeless elegance, this scarf is not only a wearable accessory but also a collectible textile that highlights the artistry of a bygone era.
In excellent vintage condition, with the original label intact. A rare and sophisticated piece for collectors of vintage textiles, silk enthusiasts, or those drawn to the artistry of handwoven silk.
