Name: Hermes Horse Head Catchall, Engraved for Tréca de Paris c.1960
Brand: Collectors Gene
Price: 1495.00 USD
Availability: OutOfStock

A quietly expressive piece from Hermes, this silver-plated catchall captures the house’s enduring equestrian language with subtlety and restraint. The form is clean and weighted, but it’s the sculptural horse head handle—elegantly arched and finely detailed—that gives the piece its character.

Engraved “Tréca de Paris – 12 Janvier 1978,” it carries a layer of lived history, suggesting its life within one of France’s most storied interiors houses, Tréca de Paris. The inscription adds provenance without overpowering the object—an ideal balance for collectors who appreciate pieces that feel both personal and design-forward.

Whether placed bedside, atop a stack a books, resting on a bar, or used in its intended role, it reads as unmistakably Hermes: considered, tactile, and rooted in heritage.

Collectors Notes

This is the kind of object that invites use without demanding it. On a bar, it naturally holds a bottle of Bordeaux or Burgundy, grounding the ritual of opening and pouring. Elsewhere, it becomes a catchall equally suited for keys, a watch, or a pair of cufflinks at day's end.

The engraving adds a layer of narrative that feels distinctly European objects moving between houses, gifted, repurposed, and kept. It's that sense of continuity that makes pieces like this resonate far beyond their function.

It's a fitting addition to our Vintage Hermes and Home Decor collections, and a storied Housewarming Gifts pick.

Who Are You Buying From?

Every object here has a journey before it ever reaches you. I've spent years seeking these pieces out, in back rooms of old ateliers, from families who've inherited more than they can keep, through dealers I've come to trust, in conversations with people who still work with their hands, because I've always believed the things we choose to live with should carry something true. What began as a private obsession became a devotion, one I now share with my wife and daughter, who remind me daily that the best collections are the ones built to be passed down, not simply owned. What you're holding isn't just an object. You're inheriting its story, and becoming part of its next chapter.
