Leonard Paris Silk Tie – Venetian Carnival Masks & Lantern Print – Vintage Designer Necktie
Description:
Up for sale is a spectacular vintage silk necktie by Leonard Paris, the celebrated French silk house known for its theatrical, richly detailed designs. This piece is a stunning tribute to Venice Carnival, featuring dramatic feathered masquerade masks in magenta and pink plumes, ornate jeweled lanterns, and a glittering Venetian cityscape set against a night sky scattered with confetti-like jewel tones. Originally purchased at famed New York haberdasher Napoleon.
Design Details:
• Feathered Venetian Carnival masks in magenta and pink plumes with pale porcelain-toned faces, evoking classic masquerade headdresses • Ornate jeweled lantern/sconce fixtures in gold, teal, and pink scattered throughout the upper portion • Scattered confetti-like jewel-toned dots (pink, teal, gold) across the black ground, suggesting falling confetti or stars • A detailed Venetian architectural cityscape near the tip — domed rooftops, spires, arched windows, and balustrades reminiscent of a grand palazzo, set against a starry midnight-blue sky • A rich, theatrical narrative design, transitioning from black at the neck to deep midnight blue at the tip
Leonard Paris ties are designed to complement various shirt colors and patterns, so I\'ve photographed this one with several shirts (not included!) to highlight that versatility. I only wore this tie a few times, but it always excited comment--great conversation piece. This is one of the most stunning ties Leonard Paris has ever produced, so not surprisingly it\'s for sale at more than twice this price elsewhere on .
