Silk Scarf | Poppy Anzac Memorial

During the First World War, Anzac's stationed in France would buy embroidered silk postcards to send home to their loved ones. Hand embroidered using silk thread by French Women, these postcards created a thriving cottage industry and much needed income during the war.

Made using the finest materials, meticulously crafted and finished by hand, this scarf features an original artwork by Chantal Sneddon. Inspired by these postcards and the poetry of the era, the design features a poppy from the postcard held in the Anzac Memorial Collection.

Designed exclusively for the Anzac Memorial.

The Poppy design draws inspiration from both in Flanders Fields and from a postcard that Private Charles Smith (60th Batallion) sent home to his wife before he was killed in action on 8 August 1918.

Made from 100% Mulberry Silk
Size Dimensions: 1 metre square
