A refined vintage Hermès Paris desk accessory, made in France during the 1960s and designed in the maison’s celebrated equestrian style. This elegant paper holder features a beautifully sculpted horse head rising from the centre, with flowing mane detail and a strong sense of movement. The sweeping curved form is both functional and decorative, designed to hold papers, letters, envelopes, notes, or desk correspondence with understated French luxury.
The design is unmistakably Hermès — equestrian, sculptural, practical, and quietly sophisticated. The elongated base and curled paper-retaining form create a graceful profile, while the horse head adds a distinctive decorative focal point. The silver-tone finish gives the piece a polished executive presence, making it ideal for a desk, library, study, writing table, or collector’s display.
A wonderful example of Hermès’ mid-century desk objects, this piece reflects the brand’s heritage in saddlery and riding culture while serving as a practical luxury accessory for everyday use.
