The Hermès Samarcande Paperweight in Terracotta lacquered wood combines elegance, balance, and artisanal craftsmanship.
Inspired by the game of chess and Hermès’ passion for refined objects, this piece embodies both form and function.
Although designed as a paperweight, it serves equally well as a decorative sculpture on any desk or display.
Artistry and Design
Each paperweight is crafted from layers of hand-lacquered wood, polished to reveal depth and radiance in the terracotta hue.
The surface, subtly sanded by artisans, allows the natural luster of the lacquer to shine through with understated brilliance.
Moreover, the smooth curvature of the Samarcande design references timeless chess forms—translating playfulness into pure sophistication.
Because of its sculptural quality, it adds warmth and artistry to any workspace or home interior.
Craftsmanship and Details

Beautiful on its own, it can also be paired with other Hermès desk accessories to complete a refined ensemble.
