Greek Key Crêpe de Chine Silk Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A Fox & Chave silk crêpe de chine scarf with a black and white geometric pattern taking the form of a continuous line shaped into a repeated motif. The Greek Key is a typical decorative element that has appeared for thousands of years.

Also known as the Meander or Fret pattern, this decorative design originated in ancient Greece around 900 BCE. It symbolises infinity, unity, and the eternal flow of life, often interpreted from the twisting, continuous line. Used extensively in classical Greek art and architecture, on temples, pottery, mosaics, and friezes, it reflected both aesthetic and philosophical ideals and spread through Roman culture and later neoclassical revival styles.

It remains in use today in contemporary fashion, jewellery, and interior design, evoking classical elegance and heritage
