Museum quality Vintage Gucci Firenze Hand-Embroidered Pheasant Wool Shawl — Italy, c. 1960

A rare and extraordinary example of Gucci’s Florentine craftsmanship, this vintage wool shawl is an exquisite work of wearable art from the house’s most elegant era.

Hand-embroidered in Italy, the design features a richly detailed pheasant and game-bird scene rendered in raised silk and metallic threads against a deep black wool ground. Lush grasses, wildflowers, and marshland foliage create a painterly tableau inspired by European sporting art and the equestrian world that defined Gucci’s heritage in the 1960s and 1970s.

Unlike mass-produced printed scarves, this piece was created using traditional Florentine embroidery techniques, making each shawl a true artisanal object. The long hand-finished fringe and luxurious weight give it the presence of both a couture wrap and a decorative textile suitable for draping, display, or styling.

The original vintage Gucci label and early dual-language care tag confirm its production during Gucci’s Golden Age, when the house was still rooted in small-atelier luxury and old-world Italian craftsmanship.

Whether worn over eveningwear, styled with denim and cashmere, or displayed as a collectible textile, this is a museum-quality Gucci piece—timeless, dramatic, and exceptionally rare.
