And keywords? Why does this horse design seem familiar? The tie has no labels. The material is very slippery - acetate? It is 4.25 inches across at its widest point and 50.5 inches long. General era?
It looks like it was influenced by those textile art prints that were done in the early 50s? by ... was it Dan River?
Yes, I was thinking along the same lines as far as dating. Very late 1940s to early 1950s in the design. And the technique of the artist does seem very familiar, like Vertes for Schiaparelli or ???? Also very Dali-esque, and very cool!
I have seen that print before. I think it was on a 1950s scarf that I sold ages ago. Not exactly the same but similar.
I have this information in my file. 1920s: 2 3/8" to 3" wide. 1930s: 3 1/2" wide 1940s: 4" width through 1947. 1950s: varies by the decade. Before 1940s most are unlined. 1930s" 44" long 1940s: 47" long. 1950s early 57" long Late 1950 -60 53" - 54" long. I hope this helps anyone. Of course there are always variations.
Here's what the design made me think of - cave art... 17,000 year-old horse painting in the Lascaux Cave in France.
