Poste et Cavalerie or “Cavalry Posts (or Regiments)” was designed by Joachim Metz. The theme for this scarf is centered around the Sabretache (sabre bag), a flat bag worn by an officer suspended from a belt attached to his sabre. The sabretache was usually heavily embroidered and beautifully adorned with the royal or regimental crest. It replaced a pocket typically absent from uniforms of that period.
Its numerous purposes varied from carrying orders to fire making utensils. The sabretache was popular between the early 18th century and gradually phased out before the turn of the 20th century. All the Sabretaches in Monsieur Metz’s scarf date back to Louis XIV, the Sun King.
Care tag missing, otherwise excellent vintage condition without any imperfections.
