This solves your Christmas present problem for someone special! No mere tie, this enables you to wear a piece of original art. This is a beautiful hand painted pure silk tie with a periodic table theme. This is designed and painted to order in England's West Country by Susan Aitkenhead, renowned for her remarkable imagery on clothing. The design is based upon the history of the development of the periodic table with symbols for earth, air, fire, and water, several alchemical symbols, some of John Dalton's symbols, modern symobls and one or two other iconic chemistry images. Since the ties are hand painted, each is a little different, so the tie you see here will differ slightly from your original tie when it arrives. Dry clean only please, and press with care! Perfect for anyone who appreciates a touch of individuality and character - an ideal Christmas or birthday gift, the ultimate in Wedding Day attire or fabulous formal evening wear! With each tie we'll send you a free silky periodic table bookmark and a free glossy laminated postcard sized periodic table for your noticeboard!
