[HERMÈS SILK SCARF.] 1951.

Condition A-: small unobtrusive stains and minor wrinkling. Not including original box.

In 1951, Hermès commissioned Cassandre to create a design for their world-famous silk scarves. Produced using at least five different colors, the design of a structure amidst clouds, is an elaborate, Escher-esque architectural construction with a sophisticated play on perspective. Cassandre / Suntory p. 107.
