50s Hand Painted Neck Tie Ducks in Flight Over Pond VFG Dark Blue

$ 22.00 Sale Save

There is something so charming about hand painted vintage neckties. This one is in remarkable condition, even though it is probably at least 70 years old. The fabric is faille; i.e., silky feeling but matte surface twill-weave as opposed to the more typical jacquard or satin. Color is dark blue. The painted scene features two ducks in flight over a lake or pond with cattails at the edge. Paint colors used include green, orange, yellow, lighter blue and metallic gold.

SIZE: 
Widest point - 3" (7.5 cm) 
Length - 51.5" (131 cm) 

TAGS: No tags

CONDITION: No stains, holes, tears or other issues noted.

This is one of two hand painted vintage neckties in my possession that I think may have been done by the same artist, based on color choices. 

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.

For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.

For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.

Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.

The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.

If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
