Box with Nautical Dolphin Design | Two-Tone
Sleek and sophisticated, this table cigarette box is a mid-century design by Ravinet d’Enfert for Hermès. A slim, rectangular box designed to house cigarettes, it’s reminiscent of a time gone by and can now be used as a decorative object or to store cards or small items.
Beautifully crafted in France by Ravinet d’Enfert, the renowned Parisian silversmiths who made many pieces for the iconic brand, it’s a silver gilt design typical of the house.
The top of the box features textured lines running across its length, with a smooth polished trim and a statement gilded double-dolphin handle. The base is smooth and features "Hermès Paris", engraved on the base. Lift the lid on its hinged back, and it opens to reveal an elegant cedar-lined interior, with three compartments. The wood itself remains in excellent condition and has a beautiful graining. There are subtle signs of its age with a dark patina to the silver that has an iridescent sheen, only adding to the vintage charm of this collectable piece.
An unmistakably classic Hermès piece, and a unique addition to any collection, this exquisite box perfectly captures the design style typical of Paris during this time of the 20th century, and is a little slice of history. It will complement any desk set up or dressing table, to bring a little joy to your working day.
If sold within the United Kingdom, this Hermès desk box will be subject to 20% VAT.
