The lid carries the same wave texture as a background for the piece's central motif: a galloping horse rendered in warm gilt, its mane and tail caught mid stride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between the cool, textured silver ground and the smooth gilt horse gives the piece real depth, and the equestrian subject fits naturally with Hermes's long standing connection to riding and horsemanship. The lid lifts cleanly to reveal a plain silver interior sized for cigarettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDating to around 1960, the piece reflects a period when Hermes was producing a range of finely made silver desk and smoking accessories alongside its leather goods, often with this kind of equestrian detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in France, this is a substantial, well made silver box, equally suited to actual use as a cigarette box or as a decorative object on a desk or side table for anyone drawn to Hermes silver or equestrian motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectors Gene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50278533857418,"sku":null,"price":3490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Hermes_Solid_Silver_Cigarette_Box_with_Gilt_Horse_1960_1.jpg?v=1791332998","url":"https:\/\/collectorsgene.com\/products\/hermes-solid-silver-cigarette-box-with-gilt-horse-1960","provider":"Collectors Gene","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
