Hermès began as a humble harness workshop serving European noblemen. Over six generations of artisans, the family-run brand evolved from crafting elite equestrian gear into a global luxury powerhouse renowned for fine leather goods, silk scarves, silver and iconic handbags.
Ravinet d'Enfert was a prestigious Parisian silversmithing firm founded in 1845 by E. Tonnelier. Located at 83 rue du Temple in Paris, the house became renowned for exquisite Art Nouveau and Art Deco tableware, frequently manufacturing luxury silver pieces for Hermès before closing in 1984.
