Hermes 90cm Silk Scarf ‘Art des Steppes’ by Annie Faivre c. 1991

Hermes 90cm Silk Scarf ‘Art des Steppes’ by Annie Faivre c. 1991
Art des Steppes (The Art of the Steppe) features the horses of the Steppe; the vast area of flat, unforested grasslands of southeastern Europe and Siberia.
The horses of the Steppe according to recent archeological findings, were first domesticated by peoples from the Eurasian Steppe about 5,000 years ago. The important role the Steppe horse and rider played in the cultural exchange on the Silk Road makes this silk piece a true tribute.
Annie Faivre does not cover her Steppe horses with just any horse blanket but with Chinese carpets adding a rich and colorful layer to her already elaborate design.

CONDITION: Note a subtle run and minor fade spots. All issues are unlikely to be noticeable wearing, but I don’t recommend framing this one unless you’re ok with it telling its vintage story.
