Hermes silk twill scarf, hand rolled, 36" x 36"
Four heads come face-to-face on a chequered blanket. Carefully placed, decked in head- and neck-guards tied with bows, the horses’ heads are transformed into stylish figurines. Named for Tattersalls – England’s most prestigious equine auction house, founded in 1766 – this carré adopts one of the many alternative spellings of the family name, which has changed down the centuries, like so many others. The simple, precise, structured design showcases the panoply of bridlery used for the showing of horses: canvas straps, steel bits, leather harnesses. Just part of the arsenal of the equestrian arts, transformed by Henri d’Origny into attrative, geometric compositions of decorative motifs, sometimes swirling in arabesque curves, sometimes quiet and well-behaved, neatly arranged in squares, as here.
