HERMÈS, a jacquard scarf, “Les Fêtes du Roi Soleil”, design Michel Duchêne 1994.

approx. 90x90 cm.
In black jaquard-woven side with fireworks. “Les Fêtes du Roi Soleil” motifs depict the grand and extravagant celebrations held during the reign of King Louis XIV the “Sun King” in France. In sum, “Les Fêtes du Roi Soleil” was a mirror of Louis XIV's larger ambition to showcase his absolute power, the grandeur of the court, and the cultural splendour of France. These grand events not only created a luxurious social scene but were also an important tool in cementing the Sun King's rule as one of the most influential periods in the history of France.Show more
