The two pieces read clearly as a matched set even sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lid lifts away entirely rather than hinging, revealing a mesh lined sleeve designed to hold a standard box of matches, with the black leather-look exterior of the sleeve sliding smoothly in and out. A small viewing window on one side lets you check the match supply without pulling the sleeve fully out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDating to around 1960, this reflects the same period and design language as the cigarette box, both produced when Hermes offered a range of finely finished silver smoking accessories alongside its leather goods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in France, it is a well made, functional piece of Hermes silver, equally suited to actual use at a bar or desk or displayed alongside its companion cigarette box for anyone building a small collection of Hermes silver smoking accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectors Gene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50278534774922,"sku":null,"price":1490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Hermes_Solid_Silver_Matchbox_with_Gilt_Horse_1960_5.jpg?v=1791333004","url":"https:\/\/collectorsgene.com\/products\/hermes-solid-silver-matchbox-with-gilt-horse-1960","provider":"Collectors Gene","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
