Les Canuts de Lyon scarf

[mommyofone]

Greetings. I have a scarf that I am completely clueless about and wonder if anyone might recognize it. I am honestly not sure that it is even vintage but I don't know where to start. It has no tag but I assume it is silk since it says "Les Canuts de Lyon" and I know that refers to silk workers. Images are of workers at looms and what I think might be bobbins? It is black on one side and green on the other. Any help or hints/clues would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Nice scarf...I've had woven silk scarves similar to this in the past and I have always thought they were from the 1950s. A bit of roughness to them on the edges. They often have a small label saying Made in France.

From Wikipedia....

The canuts were Lyonnais silk workers, often working on Jacquard looms. They were primarily found in the Croix-Rousse neighbourhood of Lyon in the 19th century.

I agree, its a 1950s (maybe early 60s) French scarf. The subject matter of yours is GREAT - I have one with poodles and another one with flowers...
