A rare vintage Hermès brooch from the 1960s depicting two leaping gazelles modelled in 18ct yellow gold, finished with finely textured fur detail and set with cabochon sapphire eyes. The dynamic sculptural form captures motion and elegance, reflecting the atelier’s dedication to naturalistic design and hand-finished craftsmanship.
This Hermès gold brooch is a highly collectible example of mid-century Hermès jewellery, showcasing the maison’s sculptural work before jewellery licensing expanded in the later decades. Animal-themed pieces from this era are particularly sought after by collectors and are seldom encountered on the secondary market.
A statement artwork in miniature, ideal for serious Hermès collectors or those seeking a standout piece of vintage Hermès. Fully signed “HERMÈS PARIS” and numbered.
