This exceptional Hermès silk scarf, titled “L’Instruction du Roy ou l’Exercice de Monter à Cheval,” is a stunning tribute to the 17th-century art of horsemanship. Designed by Henri d’Origny, this carré was first issued in 1993 and later reissued in 2004 and 2012. The design pays homage to Antoine de Pluvinel, the renowned riding master of Louis XIII, who championed kindness over severity in equestrian training — a revolutionary philosophy at the time.
Beautifully illustrated with intricate scenes of royal riding instruction inspired by the original engravings of Crispin de Pas, this scarf merges history, elegance, and artistry. The design evokes Pluvinel’s belief that a future monarch must first learn to master the horse to someday rule with grace and control.
Measuring 90×90 cm, this piece is made from luxurious brocaded silk and features the signature hand-rolled edges, with the hem in a contrasting hue — a unique Hermès detail. The dominant colors include taupe, ivory, champagne, and rich red, creating a soft yet regal aesthetic.
This scarf is in excellent vintage condition: no stains, holes, discoloration, or pulled threads. The original material tag is still attached. Comes with the original Hermès box (note: the box shows slight wear).
Perfect for collectors, equestrian enthusiasts, or lovers of French heritage fashion, this scarf can be worn, displayed, or gifted as a museum-worthy accessory.
