Standing Pheasant Green Silk Tie

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A woven silk Fox & Chave tie with a repeat pattern of pheasants standing on an olive green ground. 

Introduced to England centuries ago, Pheasants have made their mark in English literature, often symbolising rural life and social class.

In Mansfield Park, Jane Austen portrays pheasant shooting as a pastime of the wealthy, highlighting their association with the landed gentry. Alexander Pope's Windsor Forest vividly describes the beauty of the pheasant, emphasising its value as a game bird.

In Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, a humorous misunderstanding links the word advocate with pheasant, reflecting the bird's common presence in the countryside. These literary references illustrate the pheasant's role as both a culinary delicacy and a symbol of the English rural landscape.
