Adopt-a-Collection: South Carolina Inter-state and West Indian Exposition Souvenir Scarf

Questions? Click here to reach someone from our organization.

From 1901 to 1902, the city of Charleston hosted the South Carolina Inter-state and West Indian Exposition in an effort to stimulate commerce in the area. The fair featured state buildings, carnival rides, an over-sized painting of the Battle of Manassas, and an Eskimo Village. The 320-foot long Cotton Palace served as the focal point for the event. Exposition souvenirs were available for sale, including commemorative medals, pins, trinkets, and the scarf seen here. Portions of Hampton Park and the Citadel were later built on the grounds.

The delicate blue and white scarf is made of silk. Intricate repair and stabilization with adhesive is required for this fragile piece.
Estimated total: $5,000
