Hermes Sterling Silver Equestrian Horse Paper Clip

Found in United States

A striking small sculpture from Hermes, this sterling silver desk piece is cast in the form of a horse's head and neck, its mane and features rendered with real detail despite the compact scale. The equestrian subject is an unmistakable nod to the house's origins as a saddlery and harness maker, translated here into a piece meant for the desk rather than the stable.

Weighted and substantial in hand, the piece works beautifully as a paperweight, holding down loose papers or invitations with genuine style, displayed on its own as a small object of sculpture, or of course, as a paper clip. The polished silver surface catches light readily, making it a quietly striking presence on a desk or shelf.

Hermes rarely produced small sterling silver sculptures like this one, and the level of detail in the horse's features, from the modeled mane to the expressive eye, speaks to genuine craftsmanship rather than a simple decorative afterthought. It is a piece that rewards close inspection as much as it serves its everyday function.

A refined and distinctly Hermes object, ideal for collectors of equestrian design or anyone who appreciates a desk accessory with real character.

Collectors Notes

Small silver sculptures like this one from Hermes are genuinely uncommon, and the level of detail in the modeling makes it feel more like a miniature bronze than a simple desk accessory. It fits naturally among our Vintage Hermes pieces, and its subject makes it a natural fit for our equestrian edit as well.

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.
