The story behind: Who is Xavier de Poret (1894-1975) Xavier de Poret, a 20th-century animal painter, is one of the favourite designers of the Carrés Hermès collectors. Xavier de Poret was the son of Maurice de Poret and Hélène de Mousin de Bernecourt. He grew up in the castle of Face-Les-Lys near Fontainebleau. Very early on he developed a gift for drawing. Surrounded by stables and aviaries, he had models to draw throughout his career as an animal artist, studying the attitudes and poses of animals in fascinating detail and realism. In 1920, he married Juliette d'Onciaux de la Bâtie. They settled in Riaz in Gruyère, Switzerland, where she owned the Château de Plaisance, the former residence of the bishops of Lausanne. He painted equestrian pictures of Queen Elizabeth II and her children, as well as portraits of Belgian and Luxembourg sovereigns, which earned him recognition as a "great worldly portraitist". Xavier de Poret designed many scarves about 18 for the luxury brand Hermès and the names of the "carrés"/squares were provided by Hermès when they were designed. To the painter's astonishment, the pigeons became: Turtledoves, the Dachshunds were called Bassets and the Roe Deer, hinds! Here are some of his amazing animal design : Les Coqs de Bruyère, Horse and Hounds, Les Huppes, The Deer, The bassets, Pekinois, Monarch, Les Tourterelles.... He designed many animals except cats.]]> HERMÈS Silk Scarf “LES HUPPES” HOOPOES Multi-Grey By Xavier De Poret 1958 W/Box
