An elegant mid-century Hermès Paris desk accessory, beautifully designed in the maison’s iconic equestrian tradition. This refined pen tray features a sculptural horse head terminal to one side, cast with expressive detail and natural movement through the mane, bridle-like contours, and finely modelled facial features. The elongated tray form is sleek and practical, offering a sophisticated resting place for pens, letter openers, desk tools, or small personal objects.
The piece carries the unmistakable Hermès equestrian spirit — understated, functional, and luxurious without being overly ornate. Its silver-tone finish gives it a smart executive desk presence, while the horse head motif adds sculptural charm and a strong connection to Hermès’ heritage in saddlery and riding culture.
The tray is marked Hermès Paris and Made in France, dating to the 1960s period. It presents beautifully as a collectible Hermès object, a refined gentleman’s desk accessory, or a thoughtful gift for an equestrian enthusiast or collector of French luxury design.
