AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Listing Title: Hermès Silk Carré "Napoléon" – Rare Jacquard "Abeille" (Bee) Weave – Unworn with Original Packaging
Description:
Designer: Philippe Ledoux (one of Hermès' most celebrated and iconic artists).

Title: Napoléon.

First Issued: 1963. This specific piece is a highly sought-after reissue from the late 1970s/early 1980s, identifiable by its period-accurate packaging.

Condition: Pristine / Unworn. The silk retains its original crispness and the hand-rolled edges are perfectly plump. Includes the original Hermès box.

Material: 100% Silk with the rare Jacquard "Abeille" (Bee) weave. This premium production method features tiny bees woven directly into the fabric, creating a stunning "watermark" effect that shimmers when it catches the light.

Note for Collectors: Hermès ceased this expensive Jacquard production in the 1990s, making these specific "Bee" editions significantly more valuable and collectible than the standard silk versions.

Theme: A majestic tribute to Napoléon Bonaparte. The central motif depicts his coronation, surrounded by iconic symbols including his bicorne hat, imperial eagles, and ceremonial swords.

Colorway: Deep Emerald Green with rich accents of gold, cream, and imperial red.
