Hermes Horse Head Engine Turned Humidor - France c.1960
Found in Turkey
A rare vintage Hermes silver-plated humidor distinguished by an elegant engine-turned finish and an extraordinary sculptural finial formed by two opposing horse heads a subtle nod to the maison's enduring equestrian heritage. Sophisticated yet understated, it exemplifies Hermes' ability to elevate everyday objects through exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design.
Originally intended for storing cigars, the humidor features a fitted lid and substantial silver-plated construction, making it equally suited today as a distinguished box for jewelry, watches, cufflinks, correspondence, or other treasured keepsakes. The richly textured guilloché surface catches the light beautifully, while the horse head handle transforms the piece into a sculptural object worthy of display.
Hermes has long produced some of the finest decorative accessories for the home, and its smoking accessories remain among the most sought-after by collectors. Whether placed in a study, library, office, or bar, this vintage humidor offers the perfect balance of function, craftsmanship, and unmistakable Hermes style.

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.
