Indian-style Scarf With Chili Peppers—woodblock Print On Indian Cotton, Circa 1800
Circa 1790–1820
Provence - France
Beautiful cotton fichu from India, printed with a woodblock design of chili peppers in reserve, dating from the early 19th century. The manufacturer is unidentified but is likely from Occitania, Provence, or southwestern France (Bordeaux, Beautiran?). The background is dotted with chili peppers arranged in a quincunx pattern and framed by neoclassical friezes featuring laurel leaves and stylized vases on a dotted background. Four-color print: cochineal red, indigo or pastel blue, pink, and mauve. Hand-sewn rolled edges on two sides. This headscarf is pristine, with no holes or stains; it has miraculously withstood the test of time. Exceptional condition in terms of color and preservation
Dimensions: 100 cm x 95 cm
