Hermès - Cuivreries - Foulard

Hermès silk square scarf « Cuivreries » – Vintage 1980s–1990s – design created in 1967 by Philippe Ledoux

Dating of this copy
This scarf is a vintage reissue dating from the late 1980s / 1990s, identifiable in particular thanks to printing details such as the printer’s name (F. de la Perrière), the Hermès Paris typography, and the silk quality characteristic of that period.
The original Cuivreries design was created in 1967 by Philippe Ledoux.

The 'Cuivreries' scarf is one of the House of Hermès' most emblematic designs.
It pays homage to the house's founding craft: saddlery and the world of horsemanship, through an extremely detailed depiction of the harness elements and horse equipment.

The term cuivreries refers to the metal ornaments used in harnesses, such as bits, buckles, stirrups, and rings.
The drawing is recognized for its rich and symmetrical composition, a hallmark of Philippe Ledoux's work and one of the main reasons for its enduring appeal among collectors.

Regularly reissued by Hermès, Cuivreries remains today highly sought after for its historical significance, its graphic richness, and its timeless elegance.
