Product Features
-
Historical Inspiration: This handkerchief is a faithful reproduction of the original 100% silk handkerchief that was produced by the W.H. Tucker Kayess Company in London. These handkerchiefs were popular during the Civil War as keepsakes and souvenirs, featuring portraits of key Confederate leaders.
-
Material & Design: Made from 100% silk, our reproduction handkerchief measures 36 x 34 inches and is dyed a rich purple color. The design includes black printed portraits of Confederate icons including:

- Joseph E. Johnston
- Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
- James Mason

The wreath and floral design surrounding these portraits was copyrighted by the Kayess Company, allowing for the swapping of portraits as their popularity shifted.
