Hermès "Art des Steppes Detail" 90cm Silk Scarf by Annie Faivre, 2001

Hermès "Art des Steppes Detail" 90cm Silk Twill Scarf by Annie Faivre, 2001 in excellent preowned condition, creased from being folded in storage, (I will not be attempting to steam the item prior to sale) otherwise it’s excellent. “Art des Steppes Detail" was originally designed in 1991 and was re-issued only once in 2001. Handcrafted in France to the highest luxury standards, Hermes scarves are true wearable pieces of art that take 18 months to create from start to finish with over 750 artisan hours into each scarf design. This extremely popular and highly sought after design was made by famous contemporary equestrian Hermès artist, Annie Faivre who was responsible for many iconic designs such as "Circus" and "Les Legends de L'arbre". Originally issued in 1991, the design of the "Art des Steppes" was inspired by the vast open land or "Steppe" in Europe and Asia as well as the colorful tent patterns used in the sheltering of nomads and their horses. This particular scarf is a re-issue and re-design of the original featuring close up details of the motif in a rich brown, blue and red color-way. This scarf is in great condition with plump hand rolled edges.
