Description & history
An Hermès Fantaisies Indiennes scarf · design by Loïc Dubigeon, first edition 1985 · silk twill · water green background and coral border · Tree of Life and Shekhawati frescoes · hand-rolled edges · original label present · 88 × 88 cm · grade B+.
Fantaisies Indiennes is one of those scarves that one buys as much for the design as for the silk. Loïc Dubigeon transposes the wall paintings of Shekhawati, a region in northern Rajasthan where wealthy 19th-century Marwari merchants had the facades and courtyards of their havelis—their fortified homes—covered in frescoes. First issued in 1985, the scarf has been reissued several times since, which speaks volumes about its success among collectors.
At the center, a majestic Tree of Life spreads its branches in scrolls, laden with lush flowers and exuberant foliage—a symbol of creation and regeneration, present in both Hinduism and Buddhism. All around runs a frieze of scenes populated by riders, chariots, camels, and palanquins. Looking closely, one can even find traces of the British presence in the form of automobiles and trains, as well as the Rajput legend of Dhola Maru—the Indian Romeo and Juliet—seen fleeing on camelback.
This version is rendered in a particularly vivid palette: a luminous water green background at the center, a wide coral border framing the whole, and touches of pink, sky blue, ochre, and beige that animate each scene. The silk twill gives the scarf its luster and drape, and the edges are hand-rolled—that finish of rolling and needle-stitching that creates the small peripheral hem characteristic of the house's scarves.
Good condition, grade B+ — rolled edges in good condition, slight signs of previous use. No stains, no pulled threads, no holes, no odors, no major flaws to report; the item is fully documented in photos. The original label is present. Delivered in careful RARR Vintage packaging, with a dustbag and certificate of authenticity.
