Antique Solid Silver Letter Opener – Sheffield 1905 by John Biggin

This fine antique solid silver letter opener was hallmarked in Sheffield in 1905 and crafted by the respected silversmith John Biggin. Supplied in a smart gift box, it is both a practical desk accessory and a collectible piece of Edwardian silver.

Measuring 20cm in length, the opener features a classic silver handle. As with all antique and vintage paper knives, the original stainless steel blade had seen heavy use over the years, so it has been fitted with a new polished stainless steel blade. This ensures it is both durable and ready for everyday use, while maintaining its antique silver charm.
