Description
Model history :
This square was created in 1997 for the Roland Garros tournament. It does not come from Hermès, but is an official product of the tournament, illustrated by artist Edmée Sichel-Dulong. Her design pays tribute to the venues, the trophies and the unique atmosphere of this major sporting event. Made in France in the tradition of quality silks, it bears witness to the textile expertise associated with the country’s sporting heritage.
Details :
The square features a light background against which scenes depicting the clay courts, grandstands and gardens of the Roland Garros stadium stand out. Trophies are faithfully reproduced, while elements such as Gordon Bennett Avenue, rackets and balls provide a precise anchoring in the world of tennis. The multicolored border frames the central motif and underlines the graphic richness of the composition.
The silk twill features a typical twill weave, offering a beautiful sheen and soft texture to the touch. The artist’s signature appears discreetly in one corner. The sharp, precise print reveals the quality of the textile edition. The label “Made in France – 100% silk – dry clean only” is present and intact.
Product condition :
The square is in good overall condition. The silk retains its natural sheen and fluidity. The rolled edges are homogeneous and well preserved, with no distension or pulled threads.
Maintenance tips :
We recommend that you entrust this square to a professional for dry-cleaning suitable for delicate textiles. Store away from direct light to preserve color intensity. To eliminate wrinkles, we recommend gentle steam ironing without direct contact, or ironing on the reverse at low temperature, with a fine cloth in between.
