This scarf is so dramatic! It's a lovely black damask fabric with carousel, horses, ribbons.
The designer, Joachim Metz has captured the romance and excitement of Luna Park, an amusement park on Coney Island, NY. It was very popular when it opened in 1903 and eventually the park developer opened 44 Luna Parks all around the world. There were lots of electric lights, which was something new at the time, and on weekends there were fireworks.
This scarf shows a carousel with white horses.
The artist's signature, J. Metz, is in the ribbon above the horse's head.
There are a trio of horses in each corner.
Along one side is the Luna Park title. Hermès Paris is on one of the pennants.
The copyright mark, © HERMÈS , is in the red ribbon.
You can see the fireworks in the jacquard fabric.
I liked this scarf so much that when a red one became available . . . .
Other than color, the scarves are the same.
The fireworks are shown in the jacquard fireworks design of the scarf.
These scarves drape beautifully and give lots of options for tying and displaying.
In case you were wondering about the poor quality of the photos, my old camera is an antique Canon A620 (Amazon tells me: You purchased this item on March 4, 2006.) My iPhone 6X+ (from 2015 is doing a lousy job of photos. I have learned that the stabilizer is the culprit, and a magnet applied to the case helps somewhat (if you need more info on that, let me know). Maybe Santa will bring me a new phone in the fall.
