AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent vintage Hermès silk scarf titled "Profilé," designed by artist Shan Merry in 1974.
Only and unique edition.
Hand-rolled.
Made in France.
Hermès Paris logo, copyright C.
Presence of a composition label.
A bit of history:
"At the center of the design, framed by old bridle bits, two interlaced Hs recall the marriage of Émile HERMÈS and Julie Hollande in 1900. This monogram was affixed to the doors of the 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré store during the major renovations 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 bodyguards, astonished. In memory of this adventure, the elevator was renamed after its illustrious prisoner. At HERMÈS, small history sometimes meets the grand story."
According to Arfon’s dictionary of edition art squares, it is considered quite rare and rather sought-after - photo attached.
Good overall vintage condition despite a few signs of wear (2 last photos).
Colors may vary with lighting.
Will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking number.
