Necktie, entitled Triangles, by Nicola Fletcher

Add to album

This gold and ebony necktie, entitled 'Triangles', was made by the Scottish artist Nicola Fletcher in 1979.

The necktie is made of a gold foxtail chain with matching endpieces, each of which consists of a chain of seven small gold triangles inlaid with ebony and a large triangle at the end.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
