Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Met 'Cloisters Garden' 36" Square Silk Scarf
Step into the medieval gardens of The Cloisters with this lush botanical silk scarf. The exquisite print draws from a selection of plant studies (ca. 1510–1515) by the Master of Claude de France, whose spectacular illuminated manuscript at The Met Cloisters represents "the last flowering" of northern European manuscript illumination in the medieval tradition. Every petal, leaf, and stem was rendered with extraordinary precision — a loving tribute to the garden's beauty.
From the humble blackberry to the cheerful marigold, each flower immortalized by this French master can still be found growing in the gardens at The Cloisters today. Wearing this scarf is like carrying a piece of that serene, centuries-old sanctuary with you.
