A refined desk accessory from Hermes, this letter opener is distinguished by a sculptural spur handle, a small but unmistakable nod to the house's equestrian origins rendered in silver plated brass. The curved spur shape sits at the top of the blade, offering a comfortable and distinctive grip that sets this piece apart from more conventional letter opener designs.

The piece was crafted by Ravinet d'Enfert, one of the storied French silversmithing houses responsible for a number of fine Hermes decorative objects, and the quality of that collaboration shows clearly in the crispness of the spur's detailing and the clean, confident line of the blade itself.

Beyond its intended use for opening correspondence, the piece works equally well as a desk sculpture in its own right, its equestrian motif pairing naturally with other Hermes objects or simply standing alone as a small, refined object of design. It is exactly the kind of detail that rewards a closer look from anyone who appreciates Hermes's ability to bring genuine craft to even the smallest everyday objects.

A distinctive and well made piece, ideal for collectors of Hermes silver or anyone who wants their desk accessories to carry a bit of design history.

Collectors Notes

Part of what we love about Hermes desk pieces is how often the equestrian references show up in the smallest details, and the spur handle here is a perfect example. Pair it with something from our Vintage Hermes edit for a cohesive desk set, or let it stand on its own among our equestrian pieces.

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.
