Description from the seller

A refined vintage Hermès Paris drink holder, made in France in the 1960s and designed in the house's iconic equestrian style. This elegant piece features a sculpted horse head with beautifully modeled facial details, a flowing mane, and a strong decorative profile. The circular base sits on a shaped stand, creating a practical yet elegant accessory for a desk, a bar, a cocktail table, or a luxurious reception setting.

The design reflects Hermès' long association with equestrian culture, the horse head motif being a direct reference to the brand's origins in saddlery and riding accessories. The silvery finish gives the piece a polished yet discreet presence, while the vintage surface patina adds warmth and authenticity.

This piece can be used as a glass holder, a coasters-style bar accessory, a desk accessory, or a Hermès collector’s item. It embodies the quiet luxury and functional elegance associated with Hermès mid-century accessories—decorative without being excessive, useful while remaining highly collectible.
