AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent small Hermès silk twill carré entitled “Baobab Cat,” designed by the artist Ardmore Artists in 2018 (PM), reissued in 2020.
This is the first edition.
Hand-rolled edges.
Made in France.
Hermès Paris logo, Hermès C copyright, Ardmore Artists signature.
Composition label present. Letter X beneath the composition label, barely visible (private sales).
According to the Arfon dictionary of art scarves, it is considered quite rare and sought-after (last photo).
A little history:
“A mischievous leopard has slipped into the heart of a baobab flower. For Zulu kings, this majestic feline embodied the nobility of their status, while the baobab represented power and grace. The flowers of this gigantic tree open only at nightfall, when the leopard sets out in search of its prey. Through the play of composition, animal and plant merge into a single being, crowned with a halo of white-spotted feathers.
Created in 1985 by Fée Halsted, the Hardmore Artists collective is dedicated to promoting the traditional style and imagery of KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa.”
In excellent condition. Unused.
Comes in a small Hermès box.
Will be carefully packed and sent by Colissimo with tracking number.
