1956 Vintage Hermès "Grande Vénerie Royale" 90cm Silk Scarf (Rare First Edition)
Indulge in a true piece of wearable French luxury history. This authentic vintage Hermès 90cm "Grande Vénerie Royale" silk carré scarf is a rare collector's masterpiece. Originally designed by famed French artist Charles-Jean Hallo (signed "ch. Hallo") and released in 1956/1957, this historic design has never been reissued or reprinted by the fashion house, making it an incredibly scarce find.
The design exquisitely celebrates the grand tradition of the royal French hunt. It features majestic illustrations of hunters on horseback, hunting hounds, and game birds, beautifully bordered by titles honoring three of France's legendary royal hunting forests: Forêt de Fontainebleau, Forêt de Compiègne, and Forêt de Rambouillet. The center is anchored by a stunning royal French shield surmounted by a crown.
Rendered in its most coveted, premium colorway of rich imperial garnet red, cream-gold, and slate gray tones, this striking piece functions beautifully as a luxury neck scarf, a head wrap, or a framed investment art piece for your home.
