Description
Model history :
“Couvertures et tenues de jour” is a creation by Jacques Eudel, first published in 1974. This square perfectly illustrates the historic link between Hermès and the equestrian world. With its precise drawing of stable and horse presentation outfits, it celebrates the house’s saddlery heritage and appeals to lovers of equestrian culture and emblematic silks.
Details :
The square features a symmetrical composition in which nine horses are represented, each wearing a distinct blanket, surrounded by straps, bridles and equine decorations. The golden-yellow border frames the whole and highlights the motifs in sober, elegant colors. The Hermès Paris signature is integrated into the design alongside that of Jacques Eudel.
The silk twill features a fine twill weave, offering a fluid feel and elegant fall. The prints remain crisp despite the presence of a few spots visible under certain lights. Hand-rolled, in a coordinating tone, underlines the quality of fabrication.
Product condition :
The square is in fair condition. The silk retains its suppleness and main colors, but localized stains and wear marks are present. The original Hermès label is missing, but the printed signatures are clearly visible.
Maintenance tips :
Dry cleaning by a professional specializing in antique textiles recommended. Store the square flat or rolled away from direct light to preserve its colors and avoid new wrinkles.
