Hermes Red Lacquer & Brass Buckle Table Lighter

An exceptional example of Hermes' mid-century decorative arts, this vintage table lighter was produced in France by the renowned silversmith Ravinet d'Enfert during the 1960s. Executed in deep oxblood lacquer with parcel-gilt metal accents, the lighter is adorned with one of Hermes' most recognizable design elements a sculptural belt and buckle motif that pays homage to the house's enduring equestrian heritage.

Rather than treating a utilitarian object as merely functional, Hermes elevated the everyday table lighter into a refined desktop sculpture. The elegant proportions, warm lacquer finish, and polished gilt detailing allow the piece to function beautifully as a decorative object whether displayed on a desk, library table, cocktail bar, or coffee table.

Produced during one of the most celebrated periods of Hermes home accessories, the lighter reflects the impeccable craftsmanship and understated luxury that distinguish the maison's decorative objects. Stamped Hermes and retaining its original form, it represents an increasingly scarce collectible from the golden age of French luxury design.

Today, even beyond its original function, it stands as an elegant design object that perfectly complements both modern and traditional interiors.
