Some words about the company: Mantero is a family-owned textile company founded in 1902, in Como, Italy, by Riccardo Mantero. Since then, Mantero has been weaving, dyeing, printing and tailoring its scarves and other garments. The company’s silk screen printing technique is part of its heritage. It is a traditional, slow and meticulous process, which transfers the colour on the fabric, screen after screen.
As to the house of Mantero – that I contacted – the carré was designed for the Spring/Summer 1985 collection.
The scarf features a magical nocturnal hunting scene in a forest arranged as a frieze along a teal starry sky with a sickle moon in the center.
The square design is hand-made in Italy from a crisp silk twill with hand rolled edges. “MANTERO” is printed on the border’s right corner and “Caccia Notturna” within the motif on the left.
Excellent vintage condition. Appears unworn.
