SABINA SAVAGE Oranges and Lemons Triangular Silk Scarf

Oranges and Lemons, a tuneful folksong often accompanied in the school playground by a dancing game, growing faster and faster until one unlucky player is caught out on the final, fateful line. For this design, Sabina chose to invoke the idea of Mother Goose, flying gracefully above Victorian London (or is she falling?). She is adorned with a pretty grosgrain ribbon, swirling and twisting in an elegant and pleasing spiral, although the ribbon seems to have snapped, just as it crosses her neck. Around her, the sky is filled with a scene of exotic and explosively vibrant citrus fruits, each so foreign and shocking against the grey London landscape. Amongst the fruits, a striking green parrot looms, heralding the arrival of tropical new species to England, an unknown threat to our domestic breeds of the era.
