1913 British antique white mother-of-pearl handle, pure silver blade penknife by Thomas Marples
SKU: 202507195597
We would like to introduce you to an antique British folding penknife.
A penknife is a small knife used to sharpen the tip of a quill pen.
It can also be used to sharpen pencils or as a letter opener.
This work was created by Thomas Marples of Sheffield, England in 1913.
It is a folding penknife with a mother-of-pearl handle and a pure silver blade, and is relatively large for a penknife.
The pure silver blade is not engraved, but the pure silver part between it and the handle is decorated.
The mother-of-pearl handle is not engraved, but its rounded teardrop shape shines beautifully when you change the angle.
We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
