About the Item
Antique 20th Century English gilt solid silver and enamel desk set, comprising a pencil, letter opener, and small knife. Each piece is decorated with inlaid white enamel, with the pencil reflecting an overall design reminiscent of Imperial Russian Fabergé style.

Housed in its original retail box, this set remains a practical and stylish addition to any office or home library, retaining its usefulness over a century later.
