Merian Scarf

Her detailed plates of flowers, butterflies, plants, and insects capture a living world, both poetic and precise. Maison BROCHIER SOIERIES draws inspiration from this legacy to create Merian silk scarves — true gardens of elegance to wear.

An Artist Between Science and Poetry

Born in 1647 in Frankfurt, Maria Sibylla Merian stood out early on for her keen observational and drawing skills. Her major work, Metamorphosis of the Insects of Surinam, reflects a rare scientific eye for her time, combined with great artistic sensitivity. Compositions like Chrysalides on a Lemon Tree Branch, Tropical Butterflies and Exotic Flowers, or Frogs and Orchids invite us to contemplate the richness of life.

These botanical masterpieces find new expression in our silk squares and scarves, where the refinement of silk enhances the delicacy of the lines and the subtlety of the colors.

A Silk Square Like a Living Botanical Plate

The Textile Excellence of Maison Brochier

Produced in our Lyon workshop, the Merian scarves are printed on natural silk carefully selected for its brilliance, softness, and fluidity. Each silk square is printed in our Lyon ateliers, continuing the exceptional craftsmanship of Maison BROCHIER SOIERIES. High-definition printing respects every detail of the artist’s original works, delivering a result of rare beauty.

A Refined Accessory to Offer or Collect

The Maria Sibylla Merian silk scarf is much more than an accessory: it is a textile artwork, a precious gift that will delight art lovers, nature enthusiasts, and fashion aficionados alike. It can be worn with elegance or displayed as a collector’s piece, a testament to the meeting of natural beauty and French artisanal creation.
