AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Hermès silk twill scarf titled "Springs", designed by the artist Philippe Ledoux in 1974, reissued in 1981. A true classic among Hermès scarves. Hand-rolled. Made in France. Hermès Paris logo, Hermès C copyright, artist Ledoux's signature. Presence of a composition label. A bit of history:
"Inspired by an engraving preserved at the Château de Malmaison, this scarf by Philippe Ledoux, one of the house Hermès' historic designers, features in its center Phaéton, the son of Napoleon I. This horse-drawn carriage takes its name from the son of Helios, the personification of the sun in Greek mythology. Seizing his father's solar chariot, of which he lost control, Phaeton perished after coming close to embracing the world. This sumptuous little carriage is adorned with all the trappings of the empire. Built in 1812 by coachbuilder Tremblay, it is kept at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, where the Emperor's son spent a large part of his life."
According to Arfon's Dictionary of Art Squares, it is considered fairly rare and fairly sought after (photo attached). Very good vintage overall despite a tiny stain (last photo). Will be carefully packaged and sent with the tracking number.
