Wooden Letter Opener with Carved Head lavender and the wonderfully branching bare

and the wonderfully branching bare tree an earthy brown

but presume it dates from the first half of the 20th century

and really a lovely

with wear to the wood and small dings here and there

which is original to the making and I believe makes it all the more appealing

Wooden Letter Opener with Carved Head lavender and the wonderfully branching bareMy favorite thing about this carved letter opener are the very finely done tiny ears! The whole thing is pretty great though, and I really like how the figure is executed as a bust, with especially nice profile views showing strong jawline and high cheekbones. The notch in the blade half way done is pretty great too. Very nice. 7 1 2" long x 3 4" wide x 9 16" deep. Very good vintage condition.
