AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hermès Brand Silk Square Scarf
Model: Concours d'élégance
Rare and highly sought after!
Designer: Oliver Kermit
Made in France
History of the scarf:
It is the improbable meeting of two opposing worlds that this scarf imagines: that of the "free men", the Indians and their refined craftsmanship, with the mechanical world—the realm of speed and wealth. All the means of locomotion that revolutionized life are depicted: the bicycle, the steam locomotive, and the automobile, symbols of luxury and technical advancement. By mingling with these discoveries the buffaloes decimated by the massive arrival of pioneers and a few Indians wearing their traditional adornments, the designer underscores the antagonism between industrial progress and the endurance of nature, one developing at the expense of the other.
Printed in 2002, reissued in 2009.
Sought after by collectors.
In 100% silk.
Dominant colors: red borders, white, black, ochre... Multicolor.
New with tag, no defects.
No S or X stamp.
Approximate dimensions: 90 cm x 90 cm
Dive into the rich and fascinating history of the French Elegance Contests, a prestigious tradition dating back to the 17th century. Before engines roared on the roads, it was horses that ruled. French coachbuilders already excelled in ingenuity to create sumptuous carriages that dazzled the crowds.
And for those who want to relive this golden era of automobiles and fashion, the Hermès square "Concours d'Élégance à la Française" by Kermit Oliver offers a window into this glamorous and sophisticated world. With its detailed motifs and homage to timeless elegance, this scarf is far more than a fashion accessory—it's a true work of art that captures the very essence of the French Concours d'Élégance.
Sold WITHOUT Hermès box.
Shipping method:
* Shipping by La Poste - Colissimo with signature and insurance for the declared value in case of loss or damage.
