This very eyeing signed vintage Hermes Paris magnifier desk accessory paperweight is very clever and sculptural. It has its original box; albeit a bit worn. It is gold plated. This is totally surrealist and was designed by Jean Cocteau for Hermes in the 1960s. The eye is offset with a center which is the magnifying glass. The influence was based on Egyptian Mythology. It is an iconic cat eye frequently associated with the infamous and the occult. Chic and forever even just as is on your desk. It does have two purposes.
