Hermès was founded in Paris in 1837 by Thierry Hermès as a harness workshop for European noblemen. Over the generations, the company expanded into luxury leather goods, accessories, and clothing, moving its headquarters to 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in 1900. Iconic creations such as the Sac à dépêches (later known as the Kelly bag) and Hermès scarves were introduced in the 1930s, cementing the brand’s enduring legacy.
On offer, we have a handsome and classic 1950s vintage Hermès cigarette box. This steel, silvered, cylindrical box measures 90 mm in height and 70 mm in diameter. It is substantial in weight and wrapped in black leather with a decorative lid. Inside, it features a removable metal insert designed to organize cigarettes by height and size.
