An exceptionally rare silver-plated golf trophy by Hermès Paris, designed in the form of a miniature golf ball bucket and awarded at the “Alliance de Rochefort” tournament in 1977.

Elegant in both concept and execution, the piece features a cylindrical pierced body with twisted rope-form swing handles—a subtle nod to classic sporting and equestrian design languages long associated with the house of Hermès. The trophy is engraved:

“Alliance de Rochefort
3ème Prix Brut
24-9-77”

Originally presented as a the 3rd prize for gross score placement (“prix brut”) during the 1977 competition, the piece embodies the kind of refined sporting object rarely encountered today—functional in inspiration, yet deeply sculptural in form.

The inside bears the stamped Hermès Paris mark, further elevating its collectibility and rarity. While modest in scale, it carries remarkable presence, equally suited to a desk, cocktail table, bookshelf, or curated cabinet of sporting objects.

Collectors Notes

Hermès has long maintained ties to the world of sport—particularly equestrianism and refined leisure pursuits—and pieces like this beautifully capture that heritage. Unlike traditional trophy cups, this example transforms an everyday golf accessory into a playful yet sophisticated object of presentation.

Its proportions make it endlessly versatile today: ideal as a desk catchall, cocktail pick holder, vessel for matches, or simply as a sculptural decorative accent layered into a bar or library setting. The pierced body and twisted handles give it a distinctly French elegance that feels both restrained and quietly whimsical.

Objects like this occupy a unique category of collecting—where luxury maison craftsmanship intersects with personal history, ceremony, and sport.
