Celebrate your love of our nation's independence with stately style. Barry Faulkner's Declaration mural in the Rotunda of the National Archives is printed onto silk using state-of-the-art printing techniques, making it not just an elegant scarf to wear, but also a decorative piece worthy of framing.

In 1933, the chief architect of the National Archives, J. Russell Pope, recommended approval of a two-year contract to hire Barry Faulkner, a noted American muralist, to paint a mural for the Exhibit Hall in the planned Rotunda of the National Archives Building. The result was two large oil-on-canvas murals, each about 14 feet by 37 1/2 feet. One mural honors the signers of the Declaration and the other those who signed the Constitution.

Using a digital printing process that allows for more gradations in color than a silkscreen process, Middle Kingdom now brings high-quality design and manufacturing to silk scarves. Bo Jia and Alison Alten established the Middle Kingdom kiln in 1998 in Washington, DC, to revive and broaden Chinese porcelain traditions for a modern audience.
