Orientalist Cold Painted Vienna Bronze Letter Opener, ca. 1900

About the Item

This letter opener, most likely done by the Bergmann Foundry is extremely rare. We have sold countless inkwells, bookends, lamps and other accessories for the desk, but the letter opener just never shows up. The man's face is nicely cast at the top of the opener and cold painted. It shows wear because it was indeed used. If you collect this subject matter, or just want a unique letter opener, here it is for you.
