Hermès - PEUPLE DU VENT by Christine Henry. Recherché - Gavroche

Magnificent small Hermès silk twill square titled "Peuple du vent", designed by artist Christine Henry in 2009, reissued in 2014. Hand-rolled. Made in France. Hermès Paris logo, Hermès C copyright, artist Henry's signature. Presence of a composition label. A bit of history: "Tziganes, Gipsies, Gitans, Bohémiens, Manouches or Zingari according to the country... we call these eternal travelers the people of the wind. Their legends celebrate nature and recount their magical powers, communicating with animals, reading the lines of the hand... The square evokes their myths, beliefs and symbols. Surrounded by Gypsy dancers, a tree of life welcomes musicians, tightrope walkers and animals. The wheel, that of roulettes and that of fortune, is an omnipresent emblem. At the bottom of the square a detail illustrates the legend of Sara, the Black Virgin of the Roma (in French Roms, the name that designates this people since 1971)." According to the Arfon edition art-squares dictionary, it is considered fairly rare and sought after (last photo). Will be carefully packaged and sent with the tracking number.
