Minton Tile Celtic Knot Scarf

This pure silk scarf measures 34 inches square and features a structured, geometric design inspired by historic Minton tile floors found within the U.S. Capitol. The composition is organized into four central panels, each displaying an interlaced Celtic knot motif that conveys continuity, balance, and order.

Surrounding the center, layered borders of diamonds, foliate accents, and repeating geometric forms create a strong architectural frame. Deep navy blue, warm gold, and ivory tones are arranged with precision, while subtle rust and cream accents add depth and contrast. The symmetrical layout reflects the disciplined craftsmanship of nineteenth-century tile design, translated into a textile with clarity and presence. The silk,s smooth surface enhances the crisp edges of the knotwork and border details, allowing the design to read clearly whether worn or displayed. The result is a scarf that balances ornamental richness with structural restraint, offering a refined accessory grounded in historic architectural pattern.
