Polyester twill Jacqmar scarf with machine rolled edges. White ground with a linear check motif in pink and blue. Signed ‘Jacqmar’ in navy blue. The Siddons Scarf Collection, donated by B.M. Barnard.Jacqmar, a well-known brand, is best known for its propaganda scarves in the Second World War designed by Arnold Lever, who also designed for Liberty of London. Immediately after the war floral patterns were popular with graphic designs like this one produced sometime later. This pattern is a simple grid system in pastel pink and blue which can be worn in any direction, so versatile if not one of the most striking of designs. It is signed Jacqmar but does not have the designer’s name. It is of silk and has a hand rolled edge which is indicative of the high quality of the brand.http:–blog.museumoflondon.org.uk-jacqmar-france-libre-and-peckham- -- source link
