A rare vintage Herms 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.

This Herms gold brooch is a highly collectible example of mid-century Herms jewellery, showcasing the maisons 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 Herms collectors or those seeking a standout piece of vintage Herms. Fully signed HERMS PARIS and numbered.
