A stunning vintage Springs Hermès scarf in pink and gold colour. Depicting a theme of transportation, carriages with springs with powder pastel pink, off-white, gold and grey springs. This scarf was designed by Philippe Ledoux for Hermès in 1974. It is one of the many loved scarves-carrés that this talented artist and book illustrator designed for Hermès. A true Hermès classic theme, a ‘Must-Have’ Hermès vintage scarf in your wardrobe, an ideal gift, complete with box.

The Story Behind: Philippe Ledoux (1903-1974) was a superb artist and did some wonderful book illustrations as well as designing some of the most popular scarves for Hermès. For nearly 40 years, Philippe Ledoux served as the premiere designer and artist for the house of Hermès. Even the most casual of collectors today would be familiar with Napoleon, Promenade de Longchamps and Springs — all iconic staples of the Hermès catalog, having been reissued countless times over the decades.

Born in 1903 in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England to an esteemed family of the French upper-middle class, Ledoux began developing his artistic talents at a young age. His mother, Marie Villaret, an accomplished water-colorist herself, recognized her son’s gifts early on and encouraged his development throughout his childhood and adolescence, when the family moved back to France in 1915.

Following a brief stay in Rome, Ledoux decided to relocate to Paris to study painting and illustration at the Académies de Peinture et de Dessin with Emile Renard and Joseph-Paul Alizard. It was there that he met and married Madeleine Gautier in the summer of 1937, with the couple soon moving to Cormeilles-en-Vexin, a small commune in the Val-d’Oise region of Northern France.

His characterisation, eye for historical detail, and handling of perspective and three dimensional view is staggering. Ships and horses were often his subjects but people remain his speciality.
