A fine piece of Equestrian luxury for the most discerning of desk-tops. The highly detailed, sculptural handle shaped like a horse's head pays homage to Hermès' historical roots. The luxury house originally established itself in Paris in 1837 as a high-end harness and saddle workshop.

Signed on the back "Hermès Paris" and "Made In France" together with the makers mark for Ravinet d'Enfert. Just back from our silversmith's workshop where it has been professionally cleaned and polished, restoring it to it's former glory. Dating to c.1960, it remains in superb condition measuring 9" x 1 1/2" x 2 1/8". Item: 46084 FREE Worldwide Shipping Directly From London, England Internal Ref: 46084
