A refined and highly collectible Hermès accessory from the golden era of French luxury design, this sculptural ashtray embodies the house’s understated approach to lifestyle objects—where function meets wit, and craftsmanship elevates the everyday.
Executed in silver plate by the esteemed Parisian silversmith Ravinet d’Enfert, the piece takes the form of a stylized golf motif. The domed, perforated top evokes a golf ball, while the surrounding basin subtly references the contours of a putting green. The design is both playful and disciplined—hallmarks of Hermès’ mid-20th century decorative objects.
The highly polished surface offers a mirror-like finish, showcasing the exceptional quality of manufacture, while the weighted form and precise construction reflect the standards of a premier French atelier.
