Crafted by the esteemed French luxury house Hermès, this mid-20th century cylindrical leather waste bin exemplifies the brand's commitment to sophisticated functionality. The drum-like form, fashioned from rich brown leather, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Hermès' heritage in leatherwork. A distinctive equestrian-inspired brass bit adorns the exterior, secured by a leather strap encircling the bin - a nod to the maison's origins in saddlery. The removable lid, bearing the Hermès Paris signature, completes the piece with refinement.
This waste basket marries practicality with luxury, reflecting the Space Age and Mid-Century Modern design ethos of its era. The patina on the leather and slight wear marks attest to its authenticity and history. Hermès, founded in 1837, has long been revered for its exceptional quality and timeless elegance in leather goods and accessories. This waste bin is a testament to the brand's ability to elevate everyday objects into works of functional art, appealing to discerning collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
