From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1988/89 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: This delicate assemblage of fruits, leaves and flowers reproduces the stone motifs which decorated the Medics' Florentine marbles, as well as the great English and French marquetry of the 17th and 18th Centuries. Puzzling though it may seem, it is understandable that masons should choose the most fragile parts of the vegetable kingdom as subjects for their mineral artistry: All creative art is a challenge, and a victory of illusion over matter.
