McIntire Handkerchief Scarf

Among Winterthur’s glorious textile collection is a late 18th century, block-printed handkerchief, or kerchief, with a leaf motif. The gold and buff colorways, symmetry, and weblike fan motif found in the sixth floor McIntire bedroom provide the inspiration for this handkerchief's name. The room features architectural elements from the circa 1812 Peter P. Breen house in Philadelphia and showcases furniture made by Samuel McIntire (1737–1811), one of our nation's most famous cabinetmakers of the early republic.

This antique handkerchief inspired Burnley and Trowbridge's artists to create a reproduction scarf crafted from hand-loomed cotton mull, block printed and finished entirely by hand.

With meticulous attention to detail, these designs bring unparalleled quality and timeless elegance into contemporary style.
