Found in Mexico

A rare and highly collectible duck-form catchall by Hermes, masterfully crafted in silver plate with details that bring the elegant silhouette to life. Playful yet unmistakably sophisticated, the piece reflects Hermes' longstanding tradition of transforming functional objects into works of decorative art.

Designed as a graceful duck in motion, the sculptural form incorporates a shallow catchall basin within its body, creating an object that is as practical as it is visually compelling. The elongated neck, articulating wings as you pull them apart, and refined proportions showcase the attention to detail and craftsmanship that have made Hermes home accessories increasingly sought after by collectors.

Whether used to as decor, to hold jewelry, keys, matches, or other small essentials, the piece serves as both a functional tabletop accessory and a distinctive decorative object. Its understated elegance allows it to feel equally at home on a desk, bedside table, bar cart, or entry console.

Equal parts conversation piece and collectible design object, this is the type of rare Hermes accessory that quietly elevates a space while embodying the maison's unique blend of luxury, craftsmanship, and whimsy.

Who Are You Buying From?

Every object here has a journey before it ever reaches you. I've spent years seeking these pieces out, in back rooms of old ateliers, from families who've inherited more than they can keep, through dealers I've come to trust, in conversations with people who still work with their hands, because I've always believed the things we choose to live with should carry something true. What began as a private obsession became a devotion, one I now share with my wife and daughter, who remind me daily that the best collections are the ones built to be passed down, not simply owned. What you're holding isn't just an object. You're inheriting its story, and becoming part of its next chapter.
