1970s Gucci Jungle Scene Scarf by Accornero

Very collectible 1970s silk Gucci jungle scene scarf designed by Vittorio Accornero - an accomplished artist and illustrator of children's books who worked for Gucci from 1960-1981 and illustrated more than 80 silk scarves. The scarf is boldly colored and beautifully illustrated. It features a central motif of Big Game animals – an elephant, rhino, crocodile, and giraffe – standing in an African landscape of trees and birds. The four corners show cartouches of big cats – a leopard, jaguar, tiger and a lion. Additionally the scarf features scenes showing a zebra, an eland, monkeys, snakes and ostrich standing amongst jungle foliage. It has a wide kelly green border surrounding the jungle scenes. The scarf measures 34” x 34” and has hand rolled hems. It is signed ‘Gucci’ in one corner and V. Accornero in the opposite corner. It is in good condition, however there are some pulls in the silk border - please see the last two photos.
