Bidspirit auction | Hermes Silk Necktie with Botanical
Hermes Silk Necktie with Botanical Leaf Print - A professional men's necktie by Hermes Paris, crafted from 100% silk. The piece features an allover botanical print consisting of stylized cream and light green leaves accented by navy blue berries, all set against a vibrant cornflower blue ground. The intricate pattern subtly incorporates the Hermes ”H” and horse-drawn carriage logo throughout the design. The reverse includes a navy blue silk brand and care label featuring the signature Hermes horse and carriage logo, with text indicating ”100% Silk” and ”Dry Clean Only.” Approximately 57 inches long and 3.5 inches wide at the widest point. The Hermes botanical leaf print necktie connects the house's design vocabulary to the great tradition of European botanical illustration - the same tradition that produced John James Audubon's birds and the Kew Gardens herbarium. Applied to silk at 7.5cm width, botanical imagery of this precision represents one of the most accomplished uses of the necktie format as a vehicle for illustration.
