Product Description
A fascinating reminder of a time when even opening a letter was accompanied by a beautifully crafted accessory, this unusual Edwardian letter opener combines sterling silver, a whale tooth handle and an ivory blade, reflecting the distinctive materials and craftsmanship of the early 20th century.
Dating stylistically to circa 1901–1910 and measuring approximately 23cm long, it features a gently tapered ivory blade, sterling silver mounts and a substantial natural tooth handle. The contrasting materials create an elegant and distinctive design.
Showing age-related discolouration and surface wear, particularly to the handle, this intriguing antique would make an interesting addition to a gentleman's cabinet, writing desk or collection of historical curiosities.
Each piece in our collection carries the subtle marks of time, adding to its authenticity and charm. Any notable details are thoughtfully included in the description and imagery. Should you wish to see more, we are always happy to assist.
