Hermès Grèce 1821 Vintage Silk Scarf — Ivory & Bronze (1981)

An extraordinary collector’s piece, this rare Hermès carré was issued in 1981 to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence. Produced in extremely limited quantities, it is almost never seen on the market today, making it one of the most sought-after Greek-themed Hermès designs.

This refined and understated variation features a cream-ivory background with warm bronze and charcoal-grey accents, framed by a muted border. The horsemen appear in dark chestnut and chocolate brown, wearing white and black garments. Ornamental motifs shine in antique gold, navy, and pewter, giving this edition a sophisticated and neutral elegance — ideal for collectors who appreciate subtler tones.

Crafted on luxurious Hermès silk twill with the maison’s signature hand-rolled edges, this scarf represents both an investment-grade collectible and a wearable work of art.

Because of its rarity and historic theme, the Hermès “Grèce 1821” scarf often commands prices well above standard vintage Hermès carrés, with serious collectors valuing it as a museum-worthy treasure.
