Hermès “Cordage” Rope Bottle Coaster with Guilloché Center — France, c. 1960

A rare Hermès “Cordage” bottle coaster from France, dating to the 1960s, featuring the house’s iconic twisted rope motif wrapped around a finely detailed guilloché center.

Rendered in silver plate, the design draws inspiration from nautical cordage and equestrian tack — two recurring themes deeply associated with Hermès during the mid-century period. The sculptural rope border creates remarkable depth and texture, while the engine-turned guilloché surface introduces a refined geometric contrast that catches the light beautifully.

Elegant in scale and unmistakably Hermès in spirit, the piece functions as both a practical bottle coaster and a highly collectible decorative object.

Collectors Notes

The Hermès Cordage line has become increasingly sought after among collectors for its understated sophistication and immediately recognizable rope detailing. Unlike overtly branded luxury objects, pieces like this rely on form, craftsmanship, and subtle references to the house’s equestrian and maritime heritage.

This coaster works beautifully beneath a wine bottle, decanter, or ice bucket, but also feels equally at home styled as a desk tray or resting atop a stack of books. The guilloché center gives the piece an almost hypnotic texture that becomes especially striking in candlelight or bar settings.

A wonderful addition for collectors of Hermès home objects, French barware, and mid-century decorative silver.
