Hermès Horse Head & Horse Bit Covered Dish — France, 1960s

A extremely rare mid-century Hermès covered serving dish in silver plate, distinguished by sculptural horse head handles and an elegantly domed lid with round horse bit handle. Crafted in France during the 1960s, the piece reflects Hermès’ enduring equestrian heritage and refined approach to entertaining objects.

The elongated horse head handles and round horse bit finial possess a distinctly modernist silhouette while still nodding to the maison’s deep roots in saddlery and sporting culture. Balanced proportions and restrained detailing allow the sculptural elements to remain the focal point, giving the piece a quietly dramatic presence whether displayed on a dining table, bar, or sideboard.

Both functional and decorative, this covered dish embodies the sophisticated entertaining aesthetic associated with Hermès homewares of the mid-20th century.

Collectors Notes

Vintage Hermès entertaining pieces from this era are increasingly difficult to source — especially examples that so clearly communicate the brand’s equestrian DNA. The horse head handles feel unmistakably Hermès without becoming overly literal, striking a balance between sculpture and utility that the maison executed exceptionally well during the 1960s.

Pieces like this work beautifully beyond formal dining. It can hold wrapped chocolates, citrus, cocktail garnishes, or simply exist as a sculptural centerpiece layered into a library or bar setting. The reflective silver surface paired with the dramatic figural handles gives it the kind of cinematic presence collectors are always searching for.

An especially compelling addition for collectors of Hermès tableware, equestrian objects, or refined sporting interiors.
