Hermes Tennis Racket & Ball Engraved Box by Ravinet d'Enfert
Found in France
A rare and highly collectible Hermes box produced by the esteemed French silversmith Ravinet d'Enfert, featuring an engraved pattern of crossed tennis rackets and tennis balls across the lid. This distinctive sporting motif reflects Hermes' longstanding connection to refined leisure pursuits and elevates the piece beyond a traditional storage box into a decorative object with unmistakable character.
Crafted with a silver-plated exterior and a warm wood-lined interior, the box is divided into three compartments, making it ideal for organizing desk accessories, jewelry, watches, recipes, correspondence, or treasured keepsakes. The repeating tennis racket pattern creates a striking visual rhythm while celebrating one of the world's most elegant sporting traditions.
Sporting-themed Hermes objects are considerably rarer than the house's equestrian designs, making this an exceptional acquisition for collectors of Hermes, luxury sporting memorabilia, and twentieth-century French decorative arts. Equally at home in a study, dressing room, office, or library, it is a piece that seamlessly blends function, craftsmanship, and heritage.

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.
