Hermès silk square scarf entitled "Au fil de soie" by Annie Faivre dating from the unique 1995 edition. Printed silk square with hand-rolled edges in cream tones and shades of red, blue, green and yellow. The motifs illustrate the history of the Silk Road in the 16th century: at the centre of the composition, around the plane tree, the silkworm's nursery tree, numerous characters, including King François 1st, are allegorically depicted in a powerful dynamic. Note two small halos in the upper left corner, and a halo in the right corner (not very visible: please see the two lasts pictures). No holes or other defects. Good condition.

Size: 86 cm x 90 cm
