<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 392907, member: 136&quot;]I have a large silk scarf I bought years ago, planning to frame it for a certain Francophile of my acquaintance. I never quite got around to it, and that friend is now deceased. The scarf popped out of a box of scarves I unearthed this weekend, and I started wondering about it. This is the scarf:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]136355[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>An online search turned up only <u>one</u> like it - and that one was framed &amp; for sale </p><p>@ $350. (Good luck with that!)&nbsp; For sale here:</p><p><a href="https://www.middleburyconsignment.com/products/glentex-french-lingo-silk-scarf/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.middleburyconsignment.com/products/glentex-french-lingo-silk-scarf/" rel="nofollow">https://www.middleburyconsignment.com/products/glentex-french-lingo-silk-scarf/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I only found two other scarf designs marked with the same David Gordon for Glentex, but those 2 <u>also</u> had the name of fashion designer Michaele Vollbracht on them. [Since Vollbracht was only on his own (not tied to a design house) from 1979-1985, I figured the scarves must date to that era. (Also, he stopped using the &quot;e&quot; on the end of <i>Michaele</i> in 1985.)] These are the 2 others:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136356[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]136357[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The style of these last 2 is so similar to the one I have that I figure both were likely designed by David Gordon himself, not by Vollbracht.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any idea who this DAVID GORDON might have been? There&#039;s a book illustrator by the same name doing children&#039;s books now, but he&#039;s undoubtedly too young (b.1965) to be the same person.</p><p><br /></p><p>The style just seems so familiar, but I can&#039;t seem to pin down the designer... Here are a few close-ups from the one I have:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136358[/ATTACH]&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]136361[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136359[/ATTACH]&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]136363[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Is any of this at all familiar to anyone? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any input &amp; insight![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
