Going vintage with Turqueries en l’Honneur de Monsieur de T 1748. I believe that the inspiration for this design was an actual “Turquish masquerade” organized by the French Academy and held in Rome in 1748 for the carnival celebrations. The director of the French Academy designed the costumes of contemporary European and Eastern personages and left a number of etchings. Please contribute any info that you may have for this design because I pored overnight historical records to draw this possible reference. Today is The Feast of the Epiphany and the costumed gentlemen en parade remind me of The Magi. Please allow me to indulge in the details. I love this scarf.

Fifi, we are twins on that. Forgotten in its box, must do a research immediately.

Here's what I have, fifi -- I'm jealous of you having this one!
Story of the scarf from the Spring/Summer 2003 H booklet: In 1748 the boarders at the French Academy in Rome (then housed in the Mancini Palace and not yet the Medici Villa) offered their new director a "Turkish Cavalcade". Framing the festivities (a great success all the way to St. Peter's Square) are the pupils at the top, wearing their ordinary uniform, and below, dressed up as sultans, janissaries, pashas, vizers and other mufti).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_François_de_Troy
Jean François de Troy (27 January 1679, Paris – 26 January 1752, Rome) was a French Rococo easel and fresco painter, draughtsman and tapestry designer. One of France's leading history painters in his time, he was equally successful with his decorative paintings, genre scenes and portraits. He was the inventor of the tableaux de modes ('paintings of fashions'), which attempted to provide a spirited portrayal of contemporary fashions, pastimes and manners.
Jean François de Troy was the Director of the French Academy in Rome from 1738.
The French Academy in Rome (French: Académie de France à Rome) is an Academy located in the Villa Medici, within the Villa Borghese, on the Pincio (Pincian Hill) in Rome, Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Academy_in_Rome
