Vintage Sterling Silver Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Letter Opener (1953)
About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive vintage Elizabeth II English sterling silver Queen Elizabeth II commemorative letter opener - boxed; an addition to our diverse ornamental collection.
The handle is embellished with a circular boss to the centre bearing the applied and chased decorated royal initials 'EIIR' - Elizabeth II Regina* and is surmounted to the terminal with the Royal Crown*.
The cross pattée style handle is embellished to one side with the national flowers of the United Kingdom: the rose (England), the daffodil (Wales), the thistle (Scotland) and the shamrock (Northern Ireland).
The opposing side of the handle bears four animals pertaining to the main colonies of the Commonwealth: the beaver (Canada), the kangaroo (Australia), the springbok/antelope (South Africa and a kiwi (New Zealand).
The tapering blade of the letter opener is plain and unembellished, apart from the full hallmarks.
This exceptional letter opener is fitted to the original hinged leatherette presentation box, with a satin and velvet lined interior.
The interior of the cover bears a panel denoting 'Coronation, Elizabeth R, 1953' with the Royal Crown, in addition to the retailers mark 'Ogdens & Sons Ltd, of London & Harrogate'.
NOTE: * The word 'Regina' is the Latin word for 'Queen' and the coronet to the terminal is a stylised version of the St. Edward's Crown, which is the heraldic emblem of The Queen
Condition
This vintage sterling silver letter opener is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.
The applied and chased ornamentation is all very sharp.
Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the blade are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this exceptional sterling silver Queen Elizabeth II commemorative letter opener.
