Wentworth Handkerchief Scarf

Among Winterthur’s glorious textile collection is an early 19th century block-printed handkerchief, or kerchief, with a nature motif of leaves, berries, and flowers. The dark paneling, saturated colors, and undulating curves in the William and Mary-style furniture in the Wentworth Room inspired the name for the handkerchief. The circa 1700 paneling in this room came from the Samuel Wentworth house built in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

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.
