Cheval De Legende

Historias De Carres > Autumn-Winter 2010

Just as the stars in the sky design the constellation of Pegasus, the charger of the gods, so the heavenly flight of this Cheval de legende leaves its print stippled on the silk. A stay in Poland was the inspiration for this pattern. Built in the seventeenth century, the chateau of Lancut boasted. Amongst its treasures. A superb sleigh decorated with scrolls of gold studs. You need little more to imagine the scintillation of the gold beneath the moon, the sounds muffled by snow, the frozen landscapes, the warmth of the furs … and this studded horse. He might have adorned the back of a coat of black leather or the suede jacket of a rodeo fan, but then, silk becomes him so well!
