Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
Sorry no opinion on scarf for sale - I can not get past the request for cookies (I dont do cookies) - maybe someone else can
In the last few years, H has been doing a lot of look alike cws, at the same time ex this season I think they did the exact same cws in wash, 90cm and maybe double as well (not sure)
The easy old technique of fake detection ie they did not make that cw, is not very effective anymore and I would not use it as a sole indicator
Colorway used to be an easy tell, it is not anymore, it is tempting to look only at that for a quick tell
The TEDIOUS good old technique of look at ALL the features, ask for more photos as required, and look how the scarf stacks up on balance based on lots of features, that is the best way
Bazillions of Google searches are good too since all cws are not at TPF
Sorry cannot see the pix

Thank you so much for your opinion, marietouchet! I've asked the seller for some additional pictures and I think I will be fine. The scarf looks perfect to me in every detail, it's just the cw that I find irritating. But as you have said, sometimes there are very similar cws issued by Hermès.
 
Dear authenticators, would you mind having a look at this one? I'd very much appreciate your help.

Item: Parures des Maharajas 90 silk
Listing number: 466579978
Seller: Kathy

The scarf looks good to me but: I own this design as a CSGM – white background, colourful parures. My mother loves it but thinks the CSGM is "just too much fabric". So I bought the 90 silk with the white background for her because I thought it was the same cw as my CSGM, just in another format. But the colours of the parures are different, stronger and don't suit my mother. Now I've come across this 90 silk which seems to be coloured exactly like the CSGM I own. Yet I wonder: Did Hermès really produce two almots identical cws for the 90 silk, both with white backgrounds but differently coloured parures and hems? I couldn't find this cw anywhere in this forum and only once through a google search.
A suggestion in case you decide you still want additional eyes to take a look...
Since you have an active sale link you’re welcome to take screenshots of each listing photo and post for perusal. Hopefully images retain resolution to clearly see details. :smile:
(If you do, please quote original request that has active link so there’s no confusion for others in future);)

Having trouble zooming in close enough on these from my device... could you attach as Full Image rather than Thumbnail and see if that solves it, please?
