Key Product Information
This exquisite Hermès Grand Apparat scarf is rendered in a black, grey and gold palette, combining dramatic contrast with elegant metallic accents. The design—a hallmark of equestrian pageantry—features ornamental bridles, plumes, harnesses and ceremonial gear, rendered in fine detail across the silk field. The scarf is woven from 100 % silk twill, offering a luminous sheen and supple drape. Its edges are neatly finished with Hermès’ signature hand-rolled hems and meticulous stitching. The size is likely to be the classic 90 × 90 cm carré (a common format for Grand Apparat editions).
Key Brand / Design Information
“Grand Apparat” is one of Hermès’ most celebrated designs and was created by Jacques Eudel, a prolific artist of Hermès carres. The design first appeared in the 1960s and has been reissued in various colourways over time. Hermès scarves are more than fashion—each carré is a work of art, employing dozens of silk screens in its printing process and hand-finishing at every stage. The Grand Apparat motif is celebrated for its ceremonial opulence and thematic elegance.
Condition & Authenticity Statement
All items have been thoroughly inspected for authenticity. As a vintage / second-hand piece, this scarf may show subtle signs of wear or age—light surface impressions, slight fading or shift in colour intensity, very minor snags, or softening at the corners. Such vintage silk works benefit from gentle care: professional silk safe cleaning, careful storage (flat or rolled), and avoiding sharp folds or prolonged exposure to direct light.
