HERMÈS Hermes Christopher Colombus Silk Scarf Multiple colors

Herms scarf, 'Christoph Colomb Dcouverte de l'Amrique' employs dozens of colors to depict the Spaniard's ships sailing the Atlantic. Carl de Parcevaux's design is coveted for its historical accuracy and its painstaking attention to detail. The silk jacquard weave contains images of the sailor's beloved Santa Maria sailing ship. Care tag attached. RARE! Created to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Columbus' arrival to Americas. Features the drifting caravel, Santa Maria, as the focal point, shells, a parrot and lovely lookouts in the crow's nest. Beautiful 'galleon' jacquard weave. Dark blue border, green seas, reds and blues. The silk is wonderfully heavy and the hems are hand-rolled and plump. Hermes no longer makes this type of jacquard! Issued in 1992. Like new and never worn, but lacks original packaging.
