Hermès gift set of 6 small cups (n°1 to n°3) Cheval d’Orient

Based on the intricacy and refinement of Persian miniatures, the Cheval d’Orient collection is resplendent in colors and equestrian motifs richly evocative of Silk Road caravans, with adornments such as geometric borders inspired by the braiding on Arab saddle cloths. While opulent, this collection has been executed with a light touch, a fineness that keeps it from overpowering.
This iconic dinnerware with its plates, bowls, tumblers, tea and coffee sets and serving plates is richly evocative of the rich textiles of the 15th century Persian Art resulting in a ceremonial pattern worth of an emperor. The joyful horses, draped in striking bright and pure colourings, gallop and fly with no wings in all their glory against the iridescent background which alternates white bare landscapes with multi coloured gilded hills.
