Equestrian Box | Two-tone
Created by Hermès in France during the 70s, this silver box is a rare and intriguing piece. The signature golden horse head acts as a handle for the lid of the box while a wooden interior, with removable parts allows you to customise its use. Placed on a study desk, this box can store a collection of pens, cigars, or ephemera. The boxâs provenance is indicated by âBanco do Brasil, Paris. 1972 â 1982â, suggesting that it was perhaps a gift for ten years of service with the bank.

Condition
This Hermès box remains in good condition. The maker's hallmark, together with the "Made in France" engraving, are clearly visible on the right-hand side. The bottom displays minor scratches, consistent with wear and features the engraving âBanco do Brasil, Paris. 1972 â 1982â. The brass horsehead shows signs of oxidiation, which can be polished off - albeit it adds to the charm of the object.
