[I4H]

Great example of the week’s theme and such an amazing design that remains on my wishlisht... Sigh... Such a fresh and wonderful CW!


Oh, that is fascinating! I actually fell in love with the design before I knew anything about it. I also yearn for a larger format, but for now, I had to have the 70!


Thanks so much! What are you eyeing from the new season?


Thank you so very kindly


Such a wonderful design! I am happy to own the fuchsia 90, but would love to own a CSGM like yours... I would live in it!

Egypte, designed by Cathy Latham in 1970, is a meticulous illustration of pectorals, pendants and other treasures found inside King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Although the Egyptian king’s pristine burial site was discovered between 1922 and 1927, the first comprehensive exhibitions of the valuable objects and artifacts began in the 1960s, culminating with worldwide travelling exhibitions, most notably, The Treasures of Tutankhamun in the 1970s. Cathy Latham created this magnificent design following the first tour of the treasures from the tomb to travel outside of the Museum of Cairo. All of the pieces pictured were part of the exhibition. On the second pic I show it with an Askew London Egyptian-inspired brooch as well as with a replica of King Tut’s death mask that I purchased at The Met Museum gift shop when I first visited the exhibit in 1978.

Turqueries en l’Honneur de Monsieur de T by JC Donnadieu is also an interesting design based on a historical event. Archives and documents indicate that members of the French Academy in Rome held a “Turkish masquerade” in 1748 during the carnaval celebrations. The director of the French Academy designed the opulent costumes and left a number of etchings. Donnadieu’s parade of costumed characters, both in 18th century fashion and on exotic eastern dress is based on those original etchings. The central medallion depicts a view of Rome’s St. Peter’s Square filled with visitors and attendees to the celebrations.

Much as Hubert de Watrigant honored the famous annual Andalusian fair in his Feria de Sevilla, he celebrates the renowned Venetian carnival in Carnaval de Venise, which he designed in 1993. Coteries of masked characters, masks and a view of St.Mark’s Square punctuated by allusions of the gondolas and canals are beautifully depicted.

Zoe Pauwels’ Premieres Mains was created in 2002 and recreates in concept and style the prehistoric paintings found in the walls of the caves of Lascaux in the Dordogne region of France. Believed to have been created 15,000-12,000 years ago. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is valuable world patrimony and this scarf’s graceful illustration is a beautiful tribute to it and to the exceptional art of the prehistoric people of Europe.

And, finally, an example of one of Hermès’ most beautiful special editions: Pierre Marie’s Promenade a Versailles. This wonderful carré was issued in 2015 as a special limited edition whose proceeds went to benefit the restoration of the royal apartments of the Palace of Versailles.

Wow! Great examples!

 

[momasaurus]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!


Ooh, the dark grey is lovely! I especially love the gold bees against the steely gray. I don’t think there’s a bad cw of this design - they’re all wonderful!



I ask myself the same question. When I was new to scarves, I saw this at my first H sale and passed. I’m still kicking myself for that.

Voyage de P was at the sales??? Wow. I almost never see it on evilbay, etc.

I passed over it when I saw it at the boutique. Then @ABQ2ATL showed her lovely Voyade de P on SOTD, and I found one at the Sale

What a wonderful post, Fifi. All scarves are incredible, but I adore the Premieres Mains and Promenade a Versailles.

Monday evolved into a two-shawl day with A la Gloire de Guillaume CSGM in all its purpley, golden goodness, featuring here King Harold and that crazy falcon he carried everywhere, apparently, per the Bayeux Tapistry.

22 December 2019 - Antiquity:
Scarves which depict historical events or were issued to celebrate an important event or anniversary.

Happy Sunday, dear Scarfies! In this joyous season filled with endearing family traditions and meaningful celebrations, we embark on a fun and wonderful week on SOTD.

This week we will explore those special scarves in our collections that illustrate a historical or cultural event, epoch, notable figure, or work of art. We will also share those silks in our collections that commemorate a significant anniversary or special feast or celebration, including those that were issued as special and/or commemorative editions.This promises to be such a fun and inspirational week. I am very much looking forward to seeing all the wonderful silks that will be shared.

Happy Christmas Eve Silkies, Wonderful intro @Living.la.vida.fifi ! You’ve been a marvelous scarf mistress along with @Cookiefiend , @xincinsin and @bunnycat . Thank you to all of you for scarf theme hosting each week and keeping this thread so active and fun throughout the year!

Though I love historical themes, it’s not been a major part of my scarf collection sadly. But there are many historical motifs that are featured, especially in some Asian themed silks.

Sharing a few with you, Versailles

New to me Ballade de Heian -
2009 Hermes Ballade de Heian Silk Twill Scarf by Natsuno Hidaka celebrates The Heian period of Japanese history, running from 794 to 1185. This period is especially important to Japanese culture because it is the period when Confucianism and other Chinese influences were at their height. Heian means "peace and tranquility". This period, named after Heian-kyō (Kyoto), is also considered the peak of the Japanese imperial court and noted for the arts, especially poetry and literature

And for my Chrismas silk wishes to you all for a beautiful Christmas and New Year, Noel au Fauborg 24.

 

[xincinsin]

Joyeux noël, everyone! My father-in-law is hosting carollers tonight, so I'm wearing a cutesey holiday shirt with my Noel au Faubourg.

And for this week's theme, this was my SOTD at the office this morning: Ich Dien, issued for the fairytale Charles and Diana wedding, and now symbolic to me of the clash between fantasy and reality. I wore the purple cw today.
