Description
Celebrate the elegance and mystery of one of the world's most enchanting festivals with this authentic vintage Hermès "Le Carnaval de Venise" silk scarf, designed by celebrated French artist Hubert de Watrigant and first introduced in 1993.
Inspired by the legendary Venetian Carnival, the design is a vibrant tribute to centuries-old pageantry, featuring richly detailed masquerade masks, elaborate Renaissance costumes, festive ribbons, gondolier poles, sheet music, and iconic views of Venice arranged around a central medallion. Set against a sophisticated palette of deep and powder blues with striking accents of crimson, gold, emerald, ivory, and black, the composition evokes the romance, artistry, and theatrical spirit of Italy's most famous celebration.
Woven from Hermès' signature 100% silk twill and finished with meticulously hand-rolled edges, this Carré 90 is equally beautiful worn as a statement accessory, framed as artwork, or added to a discerning Hermès collection.
This scarf was personally sourced by Belle Maison during our buying trip to Cannes, France, where it was purchased from a trusted and verified luxury vintage dealer, ensuring authenticity and exceptional provenance.
A timeless collector's piece, Le Carnaval de Venise remains one of Hubert de Watrigant's most beloved Hermès designs, admired for its vivid storytelling, rich historical inspiration, and unmistakable European elegance.
