I usually do Ebay 1st, but this time I didn't. Thanks at those prices this one may well end up there.

The scarf is Ludovicus Magnus (Louis the Great, ie Louis XIV) by Francoise de la Perriere. The design dates to 1963. Try looking in the lower right corner for the signature. It might not be copyrighted if it is an original issue form 1963

I have a pale blue version of this scarf with signature in lower right but no copyright.
Does anyone know what the dating approx. would be on this? Or any other information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

the other typical copyright location is on top-left, above the wide portion of the horn....

If yours has none at all, LOOK CAREFULLY, there may be other locations that I do not know about then it is probably from 1963-1970

Many thanks Marietouchet, it was indeed up in the top left by the horn.
I wonder why they change things around.

 

[marietouchet]

The copyright mark has changed size over time - that is one reason for moving it around. They also tend to like to hide it in the design these days rather than out in the open

And would you know if up at the top left by the horn would be a more recent edition or an older edition?

Tee tiny copyright near the horn = issue after 1987

copyright af the top near the flare on the horn would be after 1987 (cannot narror it down more, sorry) , so (relatively) a more recent edition

Hi. I just brought an Hermes scarf back to have a loose corner seam to be fixed so I can't post a picture of it now but I do have some questions. It was called Bride de Couer (I think that is the spelling) and was basically, well, equine equipment in theme. Would anyone know anything about this scarf? I think the artist was Francois de la Perrier. I got it from a friend. I appreciate any responses.

Bride de Cour means "court harness" - there is only one on the scarf as opposed to Brides de Gala (Gala Harnesses) which shows a pair. Francois de la Perriere did indeed design it in 1969.

PS there have been several issues of Bride de Cour

Thank you so much for that! Do you know how I can find out which version I have? I have a feeling it was probably purchased in the last 25 years, but am subject to correction.
