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?
Dating this Tie?

Ooh isn't that fab with the wild horses!
I'm guessing 1940s ish but this really isn't my area.

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.

Here's what the design made me think of - cave art... 17,000 year-old horse painting in the Lascaux Cave in France.
