Cravat research #3

One of the things I am trying to re-create is the Bilbo character from Spielberg's "Lincoln".  Here is a picture of the tie from the movie.


Based on this picture, the tie is a single layer of material with some sort of an end, possibly fringed.  Well, while researching cravats, I came across this image from the Victoria & Albert Museum site.


They describe it as a woven "black silk satin ascot figured with blue design."  Is it possible this is the same type of cravat being worn by Bilbo?
