Vintage scarves drop, Wed 2 PM Paris
Crimson silk turns into architecture in Hermès Les Tuileries, a Joachim Metz creation first issued in 1990 and reissued in 1996. At the center, Mercury rides Pegasus, a classical emblem of speed and imagination, framed by gilt scrolls inspired by the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. The composition reads like a miniature ceiling fresco, precise and theatrical, yet easy to wear.
Collectors value Metz for his graphic discipline and love of ornament, and Les Tuileries is a signature example. The crimson and gold palette pairs with navy, camel, black, and evening white, so the scarf moves from tailoring to gowns without effort. Vintage pieces keep their allure because the silk twill holds color and line with depth, and this design sits squarely in the Hermès tradition of turning French heritage into wearable art.
Choosing this scarf means investing in a documented design with a clear provenance, a motif grounded in European decorative arts, and a palette that remains unmistakably modern. It is not just a beautiful square, it is a cultured one.
