A historic piece from Hermès, the “Hourvari” scarf, created in 1972, is one of the great classics of Hermès’ vintage era. Inspired by the world of hunting and aristocratic emblems, it features a spectacular composition: a central animal medallion, armored horsemen, heraldic lions, stylized floral motifs, and an exquisitely delicate Baroque border.

This example, a first edition from 1972, exhibits all the characteristics of period prints:

• dense printing, typical of the 1970s,

• a warm color palette (browns, ochres, reds, greens) with perfect saturation,

• generous hand-rolled edges,

• no sewn-in label, fully consistent with Hermès productions prior to 1985.

The condition is excellent: fresh twill silk, vibrant colors, no noticeable flaws, and the hand-rolled edges are intact. A rare piece, perfectly preserved, ideal for collectors seeking an authentic, non-reissued item.
