Hermes Horse Head Engine Turned Silver Plate Cedar Box
Found in United Kingdom
Among the most iconic Hermes decorative objects of the twentieth century, this elegant silver-plated cedar box beautifully celebrates the maison's equestrian heritage. Produced by Ravinet d'Enfert in France during the 1960s, the rectangular box features a finely engine-turned lid crowned by two sculptural horse heads that serve as both handle and decorative centerpiece.
The beautifully modeled horses reflect the artistry that has long defined Hermes' equestrian-inspired objects, while the precision engine-turning adds remarkable depth and refinement to the silver-plated surface. Opening the lid reveals a fragrant cedar-lined interior, originally intended for cigars but equally practical today for watches, jewelry, cufflinks, stationery, or treasured keepsakes.
Stamped Hermes Paris together with the Ravinet d'Enfert maker's mark, this box embodies the exceptional craftsmanship and quiet luxury that have made vintage Hermes silver objects increasingly desirable among collectors.
Functional, sculptural, and unmistakably Hermes, it is an exceptional addition to any library, office, or curated interior.

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.
