Cyllene Silk Scarf — Illustrated by Isabel Aquino
A Family Tribute to a Legendary Argentine Horse
This 68 x 68 cm silk scarf is a heartfelt collaboration between Isabel Aquino and the sketch of Cyllene, the famed Argentine horse, brought to life by the hand of our father. Cyllene, once coveted by the Queen of England, was as legendary for his fiery spirit as for his unparalleled success on the racetrack.
More than a simple accessory, this scarf tells a story of passion, history, and family legacy. Crafted in Spain and printed in limited editions, it invites you to wear a piece of Argentina’s proud equestrian heritage.
Made from 100% pure silk, hand-finished — a tribute to strength, elegance, and wild spirit.
This piece is a tribute to one of the greatest horses of all times.
Made in collaboration with artist Isabel Aquino. Cyllene has been drawn freehand by Guillermo Aquino, father of Ines and Isabel Aquino, photographer and racehorse breeder. Cyllene was named for Mount Cyllene, located in the province of Arcadia in southern Greece, the birthplace of Hermes, herald of the Olympian gods. Perhaps this allegorical connection to Greek mythology was fitting for the chestnut son of Bona Vista and Arcadia, not only because of the play on his parents’ names, but also because Cyllene was the immediate forerunner of a branch of the Bend Or sire line which is still the most influential tail-male thoroughbred line today.
A small, late foal whose two half-siblings had accomplished nothing of note on the track, not much was expected of Cyllene in his early days, but he defied expectations, becoming a top class racehorse. When he retired to stud, again, expectations were low, given the perceived weakness in his immediate family. Yet Cyllene again confounded his critics to become a two-time leading sire in England and later a leading sire in Argentina.
