AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent vintage Hermès silk scarf titled 'Profilé', designed by artist Shan Merry in 1974.
One and only edition.
Hand-rolled.
Made in France.
Hermès Paris logo, copyright C.
Absence of a composition label.
A bit of history :
In the center of the drawing, framed by the bits of old bridles, two interlaced H's recall the marriage of Émile HERMÈS and Julie Hollande in 1900. This monogram was affixed to the doors of the store at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré during the major works of 1924 and still adorns the elevator inaugurated at that time. A few decades later, Richard Nixon, then President of the United States, found himself blocked in front of the staff and his astonished bodyguards. In memory of this adventure, the elevator was renamed after its illustrious prisoner. At Hermès, small history sometimes meets the grand.
According to the Arfon Art Squares Dictionary, it is considered fairly rare and fairly sought-after — photo attached.
Very good overall vintage condition despite a few small stains and one pulled thread (last photo).
Without reserve price.
Very bright
It will be carefully packaged and shipped with the tracking number.
