A beautiful antique decorative letter opener featuring an elegant porcelain handle decorated in the Sevres style with cobalt blue panels, hand-painted floral sprays and gilt detailing. The handle is finished with ornate gilt brass mounts, giving the piece an attractive Victorian/French revival appearance.

The steel blade has acquired an aged patina with surface tarnishing and spotting consistent with its age, adding to its antique character. A lovely addition to a writing desk or collection of antique desk accessories.
