About the Item

We believe this to be the best letter opener we have ever offered, especially if art nouveau appeals to you. The quality of the casting is superb right down to the to include her earrings, which was detailed in gold. The patina is our personal favorite, that reddish brown that Pinedo specialized in using. This letter opener is very substantial weighing just over 12ounces. It's remarkably heavy for its size. Barely ever used with almost no wear to the patina, and the tip is quite sharp. If you want to go through life with a top of the line letter opener, this is it.
