Hermes silk twill scarf, hand-rolled, 36" x 36" (100% silk)
During a visit to the Émile Hermès collection, Pierre Marie stopped in front of a carriage lantern that had just been restored, struck by the refinement of its decoration. He discovered there were forty-four further examples, alldifferent, which inspired this dynamic, diagonal scarf. He then had the idea of accentuating their originality by adding a personal touch. Each lamp becomes the theatre for an equestrian scene. Horses, seahorses and chimeras dance around the light. Some form a carrousel, others pose majestically, still others are coupled with a rider. A tribute to the decorative arts, this scarf pays homage to the creativity of the horse-and-carriage craftsmen of yore.
