Hermès “Ludovicus Magnus” Silk Carré 90 · Designed by Françoise de la Perrière · Hand-Rolled Edges · Collector’s Edition in Box

Step into the grandeur of French aristocracy with this rare Hermès silk carré, “Ludovicus Magnus”, designed by legendary artist Françoise de la Perrière — one of the most celebrated names in Hermès history.

This masterful scarf depicts King Louis XIV (Ludovicus Magnus — “The Great”) in full ceremonial glory on horseback, surrounded by symbols of royal power, baroque flourishes, and musical instruments of courtly prestige. The radiant sun, fleur-de-lis, and ancient Latin inscriptions capture the majesty of the French Sun King in every thread.
