AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For auction: an extremely rare and museum-worthy "Nécessaire de Voyage" (luxurious travel case) from the prestigious French fashion house Hermès. This specimen dates from the era of Émile-Maurice Hermès (circa 1920-1930) and is a beautiful example of haute maroquinerie from the interwar period.
The case is crafted from the legendary Veau Barenia (Barenia Calfskin), a leather type famous for its natural grip and ability to develop an unparalleled patina.
All silver-plated parts (Métal Argenté) are signed "HERMES PARIS" and bear the authentic master mark with the stirrup (étrier) and the initials E-H, the signature of Émile Hermès’ ateliers at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris.
Inventory:
3 large rectangular crystal flacons (completely intact).
2 medium-sized glass flacons (complete).
1 large rectangular crystal box with a silvered lid.
2 small round pots (both have silvered lids present; the glass is missing from one pot).
Manicure set: essentially complete in a leather case.
Accessories: Original safety razor in case, two wooden brushes, and the original shoehorn.
Condition report:
The object is in fair, antique condition with a beautiful patina on the leather. The blind-embossed initials "J.B." are on the lid. In keeping with its almost 100-year age, there are a few historical repairs: the mirror has been reglued and the handle reattached after a previous break. These signs of use and maintenance are inherent to an object of this age and history.
