Description: An unusual vintage designer Tammis Keefe and rare! This one is of hunters on the hunt through trees. Border is a vibrant red and this Tammis Keefe is somewhat more formal a theme than others in her collections. I love the movement of the horses riding off in all directions. It's a great addition to any serious collection! Please look at photos for more detail. A beautiful vintage hankie and suitable for anyone who is serious about collecting fine hankies.

Tammis Keefe Bio:
Tammis Keefe was born in 1920 and worked as a textile designer during the 1940s and 1950s. Ms. Keefe began her career with Kimbal in 1953. Tammis Keefe is the undisputed best Handkerchief Designer of her time with her hankies and textiles being one of the most sought after collectible in the Market. Her designs were typically of the 1950's era full of Color, Whimsy and reflected her outlook on life and her travels! Not that much was known about Tammis, but I read somewhere that during the final years she lived with Jane Trahey who wrote the book that became a Disney classic "The Trouble with Angels". I loved that movie and think maybe it's just another insight into yet one more of the important influences that defined this wonderful textile artist's body of work. Tammis Keefe was taken way too soon at the age of 47, but while she was with us, She made hundreds of designs that we can all still enjoy! She is now and will always be one of my personal designer favorites! Way to go Tammis! Way to Go!

All these beautiful vintage hankies have been hand washed and arrive to you clean, fresh and in as original condition as I can make them. I do not wash vintage hankies that have original tags or labels on them to preserve the originality of them. I leave that to you.
All my vintage pieces have been inspected and are clear of rips, tears, frays and holes unless noted however, sometimes these vintage beauties will have pin holes where labels have been attached prior to sale originally. I look for everything and if I see even this I note, however, I do not consider this a flaw as these are all ORIGINAL hankies and over 50 years old. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. I welcome them all and will do my best to continue to give you the highest standard I am able to.
