ABOUT PRODUCTID 3151
This desk letter opener from the 1920s presents a form inspired by traditional tribal daggers, blending the era's reverence for both heritage and modernity characteristic of Art Deco. The 21.5 cm blade is crafted from ivory, displaying a warm, creamy white hue with a smooth, matte finish that subtly catches the light. The malachite handle stands out with deep green tones, distinctive banded patterns, and natural color transitions accentuated by a high-gloss polish. The elongated, slender silhouette flows seamlessly from the rounded, ergonomic grip to the gently tapering blade. No visible joints or fittings disrupt the construction, highlighting the craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. The design language clearly references Art Deco through its geometric simplicity and the luxurious choice of materials. The item is preserved in excellent condition, showing no signs of wear, damage, or restoration. This letter opener echoes the spirit of the 1920s—a period when desk accessories were as much statements of taste as they were functional tools. Ivory and malachite together tell the story of refined studies, where each object held a role in daily rituals. The materials, cool and smooth with contrasting weight and texture, engage in a dialogue between tradition and avant-garde:
