It is in very good condition. If you want to dry clean it, you must tell the dry cleaners that it is a 100% silk item because there is no longer the label.
This square represents elegant Parisians on their way to races at the Longchamps racecourse in the 19th century. It was absolutely the thing to do and see! Many famous and less famous Parisians made their way on the Longchamps promenade to the famous Bois de Boulogne racecourse to see and be seen.

For the little anecdote, Philippe Ledoux left an indelible mark on Maison Hermès, in particular on Carré Hermès. He embodied both elegance and rudeness and possessed a great sense of humor and a generous spirit.
enlisted by Robert Dumas in 1947 to design for Maison Hermès, Ledoux was born in 1903 in Great Britain to French parents. His incredible talents as an artist and illustrator are found in the 90 squares created for the Hermès house. He invests in creations on equestrian and naval themes, themes dear to Mr Dumas, which become among the most collected Hermès squares such as "Springs" and "La Promenade de Longchamps".
His art will live on, whether in a book or magazine, or better yet, in a pretty vintage square.
