RARE Vintage Hermés 41cm Silk Scarf, Gavroche, 16" square pocket, "Alphabet des Metiers" Original Art 1945 Edition by Philippe Dauchez. Showing various professions in old France.
From my own collection, initially purchased to wear, I have never worn it and it has been kept in box for 10 or more years I've owned it. One of the first ones I bought and initially I just thought of it as a beautiful accessory. Took no time at all for me to begin to think of these as art. Gorgeous colors, this in a palette of Hermés delicate muted colors against grayish-white, bordered in blue, giving an antique feel to it. I've owned this one about 10 years, and it's just been in archival storage, not on display. I bought this one as 'vintage, used' and it is just like those that are brand new or never used, so I do think it's seldom or never been worn previously. Purchased in Paris. Time to sell off my collection. No box with this one.
Excellent condition for age and type, I purchased this as vintage, but it had no appearance of having ever been worn, and for over 10 years, has only out of archival box to photograph. Plump rolled hand hemmed seams. No perfume, no odors, no marks, no damage, no snags, not a flaw to be found. No box with this one.
