A rare vintage Hermès catchall from 1960s France, crafted in silver plate and distinguished by its sculptural horse head handle — an enduring symbol of the maison’s equestrian heritage. The shallow circular form is elevated by the elegant curvature of the handle, which terminates in a finely modeled horse head with expressive detailing and a polished finish.

Marked Hermès Paris and Made in France, the piece reflects the refined sporting sensibility that defined much of Hermès’ mid-century decorative objects and tabletop accessories. Both functional and sculptural, it serves beautifully as a desk catchall, bar accessory, jewelry tray, or decorative accent within a layered interior.

Its restrained form and unmistakable equestrian motif make it an especially compelling example of vintage Hermès homeware from the golden era of the maison’s decorative production.

Collectors Notes

Before Hermès became synonymous with contemporary luxury fashion, the house was deeply rooted in the world of horses, saddlery, and refined sporting life. Pieces like this beautifully preserve that lineage — not through overt branding, but through subtle form and craftsmanship.

The horse head handle feels particularly evocative of 1960s Hermès design: understated yet unmistakably intentional. Objects from this period often carried a quiet elegance meant to live naturally within a home rather than announce themselves loudly.

This catchall works wonderfully atop a desk holding cufflinks or keys, beside a bar setup with matches and bottle caps, or layered into an equestrian-inspired interior alongside leather, books, and silver. It also pairs exceptionally well with Ralph Lauren Home, Gucci Décor, and vintage sporting objects.

A rare and highly collectible piece for admirers of Hermès, equestrian décor, and mid-century French design.
