Selim's Hammer – Paris, Pocket Square
A multicoloured pure silk pocket square featuring antique Ottoman flintlock pistols nestling in an arabesque of roses
42cm x 42cm – Silk Twill – Hand-rolled Hems
- Free UK shipping – Worldwide over £250
These exquisitely decorated Ottoman pistols are inspired by the myth of 'Selim's Hammer' – a weapon of supposed invincible power that belonged to Sultan Selim III. They are positioned within a hexagonal pattern inspired by the Damascus Tiles and created from pale green and burnt orange roses. This mesmerising pocket square with its flamboyant colourway explores the relationships between beauty and violence and mankind and nature in stunning printed detail.
The bright and many coloured palette works a charm in a pale blue jacket, will contrast delightfully with a rich tweed and will really pop in a darker blazer. It is more than just an accessory it is a conversation starter.
In terms of size this is a luxury pocket square which is generous enough to create complex folds, be used as a jaunty neckerchief or even to wrap around your favourite summer hat.
Our silk squares are printed and hemmed in the England and come in branded presentation cases so they can be kept in pristine condition.
Furious Goose is a luxury British accessories brand for those who dare to be different.
Unique pocket squares, silk ties, square scarves and long silk-wool wraps show exquisitely crafted antique firearms braced in arabesques of roses. This explosive collection juxtaposes beauty and violence in exquisite colour and intricate detail.
Antique weapons have a strange allure. The love, care and artistry that was devoted to these violent objects is remarkable. And the image of a gun still has power today as Andy Warhol showed with his pop-art.
In Guns and Roses we show the terrible artistry of mankind surrounded by the beauty of nature.
A beautifully balanced palette with hot and cold colours intermingling in perfect harmony. We have very intense blues and tangerine mixed with burnt orange and the darkest of alpine greens. This is one of our favourite colourways to date.

The General Product Safety Regulation (GSPR) is a critical framework established by the European Union to ensure that products placed on the market are safe for consumers. This regulation mandates that manufacturers and distributors take all necessary measures to prevent risks associated with their products. As a responsible entity, Furious Goose is committed to adhering to these regulations and enhancing the safety and transparency of our offerings.
Under the GSPR, several key rules must be followed:
1. Product Safety: All products must be safe for use and should not pose any risk to consumers. This includes ensuring that products are designed and manufactured to meet safety requirements. Silk, wool and cashmere scarves are not considered risky products but we will be compiling some safety advice regarding fire risk etc.
2. Labeling and Instructions: Clear and accurate labeling is essential. Products must include safety information, usage instructions, and any necessary warnings to inform consumers about potential risks. We will be adding QR codes to relevant pages on our website to our packaging. This will ensure that consumers have access to all necessary details to use our products safely.
3. Traceability: Manufacturers must ensure that their products can be traced throughout the supply chain. This includes maintaining records of product origin and distribution. Our products are all made in the UK but we will will nonetheless be adopting batch numbers on our labels to improve traceability.
Furious Goose is dedicated to ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed safety expectations. By proactively addressing GSPR requirements, we aim to foster consumer trust and contribute to a safer marketplace.
