Vintage 60s 90cm Square Silk "Bal" Scarf - Christian Dior
No se pudo cargar la disponibilidad de retiro
This square silk scarf by Christian Dior is a poetic homage to Alfred-Henri Darjou’s painting Un Bal à la Cour de Napoléon III. Printed on lustrous silk twill, the scarf captures the elegance and intricacy of a grand 19th-century ballroom scene, rendered in soft sepia and ivory tones that evoke the atmosphere of the Second Empire.
At the heart of the design is a vivid reproduction of Darjou’s depiction of a court ball—an opulent evening at the imperial palace under Napoleon III. Women in voluminous gowns and men in formal attire dance beneath glimmering chandeliers, surrounded by arched colonnades and gilded architectural detailing. The composition is rich with movement and refined formality, capturing a moment of grace and grandeur at the height of French court life.
The scarf’s scale (90 cm) allows the scene to unfold beautifully when worn, revealing architectural flourishes, silhouettes, and subtle textures that nod to both artistic and historical sophistication. An elegant celebration of heritage, culture, and couture.
