F/W 2001 Hermes Trophees De Venise Silk Scarf by Julia Abadie MRS Couture

Gorgeous silk scarf by artist Julia Abadie for the 2001 Hermes Fall/Winter collection. The scarf is titled “Trophees De Venise” or “Trophies of Venice” and showcases some of Venice’s finest cultural landmarks. At the very center of the scarf are the Cavalli di San Marco, Saint Mark’s Horses, also known as the Triumphal Quadriga. The four magnificent horses lay surrounded by floral and geometric tiles and mosaics (including two peacocks!) that can be found in the Piazza di San Marco, Saint Mark’s Plaza. The upper right corner of the scarf depicts the Saint Mark’s Basilica, complete with the plaza birds soaring overhead. The basilica, with its numerous Byzantine domes and spires, opulent mosaics, carvings, and overall luxurious design, has been popularly known in Italy since the 11th century as the Chiesa d’Oro, or the Church of Gold. The upper left corner of the scarf depicts a Venetian waterway, with its romantic gondolas and steep bridges. This piece is a gorgeous and intricate testament to the beauty of Venice and the intricacy of the Hermes scarf.
