Italian Silver-Plated Letter Opener with Fluted Shell Handle, 1950s

Offered by: MA+39

Description
A stylish desk letter opener from the 1950s, featuring a fluted shell-form handle in silver plate with warm vintage patina. The design is reminiscent of classical motifs, blending refined curves with a sense of old-world elegance. The tapered blade is smooth and slightly rounded at the tip, ideal for slicing open correspondence with grace. A glossy black enamel collar adds a crisp visual contrast between the handle and blade, emphasizing its refined construction. Likely produced by a Milanese or Florentine silversmith, this piece combines decorative flair with practical function
