Klimt Tree of Life Silk Habotai Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A charming Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf with a design featuring an element from the Stoclet Frieze, commissioned by the financier Adolphe Stoclet and his wife Suzanne for their home the Stoclet Palace in Brussels, Belgium and undertaken by Gustav Klimt (1862-1918).

The frieze is a mosaic in three parts, the expectation, the knight, and the embrace that compose a visual narrative of the reuniting of a couple. Each panel features the central motif of a sprawling tree of life, rich in golds, deep blues, and vibrant reds, contributing to its opulent and otherworldly atmosphere.

STYLING

A Fox & Chave habotai silk scarf can be worn with the classic knot style or a pussycat bow. You can even create a shawl effect by knotting two scarves together behind your neck and allowing them to drape over your shoulders.
