The piece features an elongated tray made of silver-plated metal, topped with a sculpted horse's head, modeled with great detail. The expressiveness of the face, the flowing mane, and the quality of the casting reflect Hermès' close relationship with the equestrian world, a fundamental element of the brand's identity since its origins as a saddlery and harness workshop in Paris.

Its design combines functionality and decorative value. The textured surface allows for organizing pens, letter openers, keys, or small personal items, while the sculptural presence of the horse's head transforms the piece into a refined decorative object for a desk, library, or office.

Marked "Hermès Paris" and "Made in France," this tray is an excellent example of the luxury desk accessories produced by the maison during the post-war period.

A decorative and collectible piece that embodies the understated elegance, craftsmanship, and equestrian spirit characteristic of Hermès.
