Voysey Bird and Tulip Pattern Mens Necktie Tie

Voysey Bird and Tulip Pattern Mens Necktie Tie

Add a touch of authentic English Arts and Crafts charm with this elegant CFA Voysey Bird and Tulip pattern tie. The rich curves of the stylized tulip flowers contrast superbly with the background of stiff, almost angular leaves. Your gaze is drawn in as you begin to find the signature Voysey birds hidden in the foliage. The birds peer back at you with an insouciance one can't help but find amusing.

Voysey's Bird and Tulip pattern is at once peaceful and playful, fresh and calming. A contemporary critic described it as "a very simple and beautiful idea" that would be much copied in the future, but no copy would ever match the original by the master. He particularly praised this colorway: ...nothing could be more sumptuous than this "peacock" harmony.
