Deco Ocean Waves Silk Tie

LAST CHANCE

A final opportunity for you to claim a piece of style history with an end-of-line, or one-off sample before they vanish forever.

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A blue Fox & Chave silk tie featuring a repeat pattern of ocean waves in a style typical of those created during the Art Deco period.

Ocean waves featuring dynamic breakers provided a powerful, energetic alternative to static geometric shells within the Art Deco design style. Influenced by Streamline Moderne and Japanese woodblock prints, artists captured aquatic motion through sweeping, parallel crests and stylised foaming curls.

Reflecting the era's fascination with speed, transatlantic liners, and aerodynamic forces, these curling wave motifs adorned architectural bas-reliefs, decorative ironwork, and luxury interiors on soft furnishings and wallpapers. Unlike the more common rigid fan patterns, breaker designs synthesised natural fluid energy with machine-age precision. Their repeating, rhythmic curves transformed raw maritime power into sleek ornament, symbolising human progress, modern velocity, and a harmonious mastery over the vast and turbulent sea.

STYLING

A Fox & Chave silk tie looks best tied in a classic Windsor or half-Windsor knot and worn with a collar style of your choosing. Cutaway or spread collars offer the greatest opportunity to display the detail of your unique silk tie design.
