How to authenticate Hermes "Vue du Carrosse de la Galere La Reale"? AND, how to determine value?
PHOTOS: I tried to upload photos, but it says I do not have permission. How/where would I upload a photo here, please?
EDITED TO SAY: I have it on craigslist, which has photos, here: https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/atq/d/saint-paul-rare-1953-hermes-vue-du/7923568108.html
I'm trying to find out if what I have is an authentic 1953 Hermes “La Reale” scarf, designed by Grygkar in 1953.
And I'm trying to find a value at which to sell it.
This has never been worn, or used. It has the fold lines from being in the presentation envelope.
From Internet research, I can provide these details -- but let me know if there are additional details??
1. it weighs exactly 63 grams.
2. the edging is hand-rolled and stitched to the FRONT of the scarf.
3. there is no label, which I understand is typical of the scarf from 1953.
4. It feels like silk, and is substantial without being stiff.
5. the colors are incredibly vivid.
6. it has been stored in the orange paper presentation envelope.
7. it is about 34" square. I understand the square shape can indicate the original 1953 scarf
Thanks in advance for help!!!

·5 months agoThis scarf is absolutely authentic, but I'm not positive that it's from 1953. This scarf was reissued at least once in 1992, so it could be from that reissue. But my gut says 1953! If I can find more information to confirm that this specific color palette is from a specific date, I'll let you know.
warmest regards,

OP5 months agoThank you!!
Would the orange "envelope" package validate it from 1953?

OP5 months agoOne more question: I am asking $215.
Do you think that is just right, too high or too low?

OP5 months agoMan, SORRY FOR ANOTHER MESSAGE.
This was my family member's, and she died in 1988. But I'd still like to have you check about the date.
