This elegant new series is inspired by Rory’s personal collection of silverware and the many auction catalogues and country house sales he has explored over the years—places where grand pieces from the state rooms sit alongside humble objects from the servants’ hall. Rory has a deep affection for such collections, which reveal generations of history, layering, and living—qualities he continually seeks to capture in his work.
Of the new designs Rory has said, “I see these scarves as portable interiors: fragments of history you can wear.”
For this series, Rory has imagined three distinctive interiors: the Kitchen, the Drawing Room, and the Boudoir. Each scarf has been meticulously illustrated using hand-crafted linocuts and is designed not only to be worn, but also appreciated as a work of art—an object to be collected or even framed. This series will appeal to those who love the art of collecting, historic interiors, and the understated charm of the whimsical.
