Another elegant set from Hermès, this trio of smoking paraphernalia exudes the elegance of the mid-century, bringing a little gilded charm to the everyday. The cornucopia motif shared across the three pieces are a beautiful unifying symbol, featuring a level of texture and detail that makes this an especially eye-catching piece.

THE STORY BEHIND THE BRAND

Maker of colourful scarfs, delicate perfumes and curious timepieces, Hermès has diversified quite a lot since its equestrian beginnings in 1837. It was founded by the harness-maker, Thierry Hermès, when he opened his first workshop on rue Basse-du-Rempart in Paris. At the time, horse-drawn carriages were the main mode of transportation, so he was kept in good business by the constant need of local Parisians and their preferred means of transport.
