£995.00

A fine pair of antique George IV English sterling silver game skewers/letter openers; an addition to our diverse flatware collection

The anterior and posterior surfaces of the skewer are embellished with chased decorated shell designs below the plain circular ring loop fingerpiece.


* The original use of this item was purely as a game/meat skewer. Due to its form, this piece may certainly be used as an effective letter opener.

These antique letter openers are a very good gauge of silver, very good quality and in excellent condition.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these pieces of antique flatware.
