So many vintage scarves are almost always literally a wok of art. Designer, souvenir, silk, chiffon or even cotton print with pretty lace, there are so many beautiful scarf's available!

As works of art, they can be preserved forever just by being framed and matted with acid free board. Some are available already mounted, like this opportunity to have a "real Picasso" hanging in your living room.
