Hermes Horse Head Catchall France, 1960s

A rare vintage Hermes 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 Hermes Paris and Made in France, the piece reflects the refined sporting sensibility that defined much of Hermes’ 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 Hermes homeware from the golden era of the maison’s decorative production.

Collectors Notes

Before Hermes 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 Hermes 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 Decor, and vintage sporting objects.

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

It's a fitting addition to our Vintage Hermes and Home Decor collections, and a rare 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.
