‘A Beautiful Jigsaw’ is a stylish and unique full-size pocket square in silk and has been created in collaboration with leading aviation artist David Bent. His geometric shapes, bold colours, authentic detail and Boy’s Own bravado bring aviation and modern art together for a celebration of flight.
The original photocollage was inspired following an invitation to David to see Vulcan XH558 during its restoration. This aircraft entered service in 1960 during the Cold War, performing a variety of different roles during its service, and was the last remaining Vulcan in the RAF when it was finally retired in 1993. XH558 last flew in 2015 and is now an inspiring visitor attraction.
The artwork is reproduced with a good balance of colour between the printed and reverse sides of the silk pocket square so works perfectly with any pocket square fold. The image is framed by the pocket square’s pale yellow border and grey hand-rolled & hand-sewn hem.
'A Beautiful Jigsaw' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, the high-quality aviation silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and his vibrant artwork.
