Vintage scarves drop, Wed 2 PM Paris
Created in 1975 for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Hermès Les Cavaliers d’Or scarf accompanied the exhibition The Gold of the Scythians. Designed by Vladimir Rybaltchenko, it celebrates the nomadic warriors of Central Asia, famed for their intricate goldwork and richly decorated arms, harnesses, and ornaments. The scarf presents a symphony of combs, clasps, amulets, and golden animals, arranged in perfect symmetry with near-archaeological detail. In this edition, a royal blue border amplifies the brilliance of the golden motifs against ivory silk.
A true collector’s piece, Les Cavaliers d’Or reflects Hermès’ fascination with history and equestrian art, turning ancient treasures into wearable legend.
