About the Item
An elegant desk letter opener with a handle made from an authentic fossil of Orthoceras - Saharan Nautiloid over 360 million years old.
The conical shell, slightly curved and lying on a rocky base, is transformed into a unique handle sculpted by nature.
A nickel-plated brass blade with a polished finish and beveled cut completes Nino Basso's signature refined design for the Fossiline collection. Each piece is unique, with veining in shades of black, smoke, and gray.
