Hermès Equestrian Horse Tray, silver-plated

Believed to have been designed and crafted in France in the 1970s or 80s by Ravinet d’Enfert - the renowned Parisian silversmiths favoured by Hermès - the proportions of this silver dish are pleasingly shaped, resulting in the very natural, almost pebble-like appearance of the base.

Naturally, the most outstanding part of the dish is the curved handle that culminates in an elegantly cast horse head, adding a touch of whimsy and flair to an otherwise fairly functional object, and paying tribute to Hermès' equestrian history. Over time, the dish has developed a remarkably even patina throughout, showing the history of the object and its age, only adding to its vintage allure.

This silver dish is the perfect accessory for any living room, either used as a catch-all or possibly a candle holder, standing out thanks to its artistically placed horse head and elegant appearance.

If sold within the United Kingdom, this vintage Hermès Tray will be subject to 20% VAT.

This Hermès tray remains in good condition, for an object of its age. The bottom displays minor scratches, consistent with use, while the features of the horsehead remain very sharp.

The iridescent patina on the silver plating adds a layer of interest but can be removed at the owner's request, by our specialist silversmiths.
