Ravinet, one of the storied Parisian silversmithing houses that produced fine tableware and decorative silver for the great French luxury maisons throughout the twentieth century. Rather than a single Hermes stamp, the underside of this piece carries a double hallmark, the Hermes Paris mark alongside Ravinet d'Enfert's own maker's punch on the site, a detail that gives serious collectors a clear line of authentication and a fuller picture of the craftsmanship behind the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catchall itself is executed in polished silver plate, its shallow oval bowl kept deliberately simple so that the sculptural horse head handle, finely modeled with a lifelike expression, remains the clear focal point. It is a compact but confident expression of Hermes's equestrian roots, translated here through another house's hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its original intended use, we love this piece set out on a nightstand for rings and cufflinks removed before bed, on an entry table to corral keys, or simply left on a shelf as a small piece of sculpture in its own right. Its scale makes it easy to place almost anywhere it can be appreciated up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA documented collaboration piece rather than simply another horse head catchall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hermes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50119983956106,"sku":null,"price":1490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Hermes_Horse_Head_Catchall_by_Ravinet_d_Enfert_-_France_c.1960_4.jpg?v=1788840980","url":"https:\/\/collectorsgene.com\/products\/hermes-horse-head-catchall-by-ravinet-denfert-france-c-1960","provider":"Collectors Gene","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
