Hermès Paris Horse Head Letter Opener, Designed by Ravinet Denfert

A gesture of elegance, cast in silver.

This sculptural letter opener, designed for Hermès by Ravinet Denfert circa 1970, captures the quiet power of the horse in mid-stride. Rendered in silver plate, its streamlined silhouette is crowned with a finely detailed equine head—an homage to the maison’s equestrian heritage. Balanced in hand, it turns the simple act of correspondence into a moment of grace.
