Description & history
An Hermès Giverny scarf · special edition in tribute to Claude Monet, first edition 1989 · silk twill · aqua green, ecru, yellow and pink colors · Japanese bridge, irises and flowerbeds · hand-rolled edges · original tag present · 88 × 88 cm · grade B.
Claude Monet moved to Giverny, in Normandy, in 1883. The garden he created there over the years was neither mere decoration nor a simple model: it was a work of art in itself, conceived like a painting brought to life. Marcel Proust, who visited in 1907, evoked those tender water lilies, finding the garden to be like a first, living sketch. It was there, before his pond and his Japanese bridge, that the painter would spend the final decades of his life chasing the reflections of light on the water.
This scarf was born of a tribute. Issued by Hermès in 1989 at the wish of Gérard Van der Kemp — the former chief curator of the Château de Versailles, who dedicated his retirement to raising the funds necessary to restore Monet's house and gardens — it is a special edition that has since been reissued in 1991 and 1999. It features all the vocabulary of the place: the curve of the Japanese bridge, the trellises of the "clos normand," the paths lined with flowers, the standing irises, the cascading wisteria.
The palette follows that of the garden. A wide aqua green border frames the whole and gives the scarf its dominant color; in the center, an ecru and soft green background allows yellow irises, pink flowerbeds, and fuchsia clusters to bloom, all punctuated by a bright pink thread that enlivens the composition. Soft, frankly spring-like colors that are easy to wear with white, beige, khaki, or denim. The silk twill gives the scarf its sheen and drape, and the edges are hand-rolled — that finish of rolling and needle-stitching that creates the small peripheral bead characteristic of the house's scarves.
Good general condition, grade B — rolled edges in good condition, slight signs of prior use. No holes, no odors, no major defects to report; the whole is documented in photos. The original tag is present. Delivered in careful RARR Vintage packaging, with dustbag and certificate of authenticity.
