A rare 1940s scarf in watercolor painted silk, so chic with its Deco bubbles and Paris landmarks. It was made in France, hand colored by a Parisian artisan and signed in the lower right corner. The central square of the scarf was originally a map of Paris (now faded to ethereal obscurity) and various tourist scenes, the largest displaying the Eiffel Tower. Dates to the 1930s or 40s.
