Vintage Balertra blue silk tie with floral pattern, men's retro elegance
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Men's tie by Balertra, shown here in a neat presentation on an orange-yellow fabric background. This model features a navy blue base, adorned with a regular geometric checkerboard pattern. Each square is embellished with a small stylized floral motif, embroidered in a light tone, evoking a fleur-de-lis or a four-leaf clover, for a refined touch. This repeated pattern gives the whole a classic yet sophisticated look, typical of quality vintage accessories.
The fabric texture appears finely worked, with a slight relief that highlights the characteristic sheen of silk, as confirmed by the keywords. The whole is structured, the tie maintaining a good hold and a clean drape, indicating careful craftsmanship. The cut of the wide blade is regular, with a classic point.
The main color is a deep blue, enhanced by the light motifs and a few discreet touches of soft green in the center of each flower. This subtle contrast gives the whole depth without excess, for a timeless and discreet elegance, perfectly suited for professional use or formal wear.
The style clearly evokes retro elegance, probably from the 1980s-1990s, with both classic and graphic inspiration. This type of tie easily matches conservative suits or plain shirts for a chic and refined effect.
No inscriptions or labels visible on the exposed part, apart from the woven pattern.

Did you know? The silk tie, an essential accessory in men's wardrobes since the early 20th century, owes its popularity to the natural silk's brilliance and suppleness, which allows for complex patterns and excellent knot hold. Stylized floral motifs evoke an ancient tradition of French ties, where every weaving detail distinguished quality houses.
