Description

This sumptuous length of silk is more than just a pretty scarf with birds on it. It reproduces an iconic section of the hand-painted wallpaper in The Peacock Room at the Freer Gallery of Art, originally designed by James McNeill Whistler in 1877 and moved to the National Museum of Asian Art in 1923.

The Birds of Brilliance Silk Scarf's elegant asymmetrical design reproduces Whistler's pair of peacocks in dark teal blue and golden yellow. It is screen printed by hand on pure silk with a hand-rolled hem.

Museum Story

The Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art opened to the public in 1923, a gift to the nation from Charles Lang Freer. The museum contains an extensive collection of oriental art, prints, sculpture and silk panels, as well as a major group of 19th and 20th century American works.
