Hermes silk twill scarf, hand rolled, 36" x 36" (100% silk) Color : anthracite grey/plum/green
Émile Hermès began collecting at the age of twelve. The resulting ‘cabinet of curiosities’ reflects the open, inquiring mind of this passionate, amateur art lover. Émile was a tireless walker, and a regular at the sale rooms, endlessly on the look-out for strange, unexpected pieces to add to those he had already amassed. The equestrian world holds a special place: Virginie Jamin’s neatly-ordered scarf takes inspiration from the models in a 19th-century catalogue. Brow-bands (the bridle strap positioned across the horse’s forehead) decorated with medallions are arranged in a labyrinth of straight lines, while ribbon rosettes, presented as prizes at equestrian competitions, are displayed amid a scattering of flowers.
