Originally issued in 1966, Marine et Cavalerie is a grand composition by Philippe Ledoux, one of Hermès’ most celebrated illustrators. Known for his detailed historical scenes, Ledoux brings to life a military parade held on the 2nd of Pluviôse, Year III of the French Republican Calendar (January 21, 1795). The design captures a dramatic rendezvous between cavalry and navy forces, with regiments of horsemen in ceremonial dress assembling in front of an imposing fleet. Framed with golden weaponry and nautical emblems, this carré showcases Ledoux’s signature mastery of both scale and storytelling.
Sought after by collectors and history lovers alike, this vintage scarf blends military precision with artistic elegance. A striking tribute to France’s naval and equestrian heritage.
