The Collector's Desk Scarf
Inspired by the forgotten treasures of a writer’s desk.
Imagine opening a drawer that has remained closed for years and discovering what was left behind: long-forgotten handwritten letters, postcards, envelopes, and fragments of marbled paper. Small remnants of a life once lived on paper.
The Collector’s Desk Scarf draws from this sense of discovery, as well as the illusionistic still-life paintings of the Dutch Golden Age. Inspired in part by the trompe-l’œil letter racks of Edwaert Collier, a 17th-century Dutch Golden Age artist whose paintings transformed ordinary objects of correspondence into captivating compositions, the design plays with the idea of paper, pattern, and ephemera gathered together over time. The marbled papers featured in the design are original patterns created by Marbled Paper Studio, reproduced on luxurious Italian silk twill. Measuring 20 × 20 inches, the scarf is finished by hand with a traditional hand-rolled edge rather than a machine-stitched hem.
Wear it. Wrap it. Or hang it as art. It is sure to be a conversation piece.
- Each sheet is created by hand, making every piece one of a kind. If you purchase multiple sheets of the same pattern, they will be similar but never identical.
- Our handmade papers bear our maker's mark, stamped on the reverse as a sign of authenticity. You may also notice pencil notations or traces of paint from the creative process on the back of the sheet. These artisan markings are not visible from the front and are part of the handmade nature of our work.
- To provide you with the greatest usable surface, our sheets are left untrimmed. As a result, you may notice minor smudges or marks along the top edge where the paper was clipped during the drying process. These are normal characteristics of handcrafted paper and do not affect its beauty, quality, or usability.
