Paper knife - Silver

Paper knife from the Belle Époque (c. 1880–1900)
Material: Solid 925 sterling silver.
Technique: Fully hand-made repoussé work (hammered from the reverse), recognizable by the small interior bumps.
Design: Neo-Renaissance-style piece with an asymmetric decor (each face features its own chased design), typical of unique artistic creations from the late 19th century.
Origin: Probably a prestigious silversmith workshop (Switzerland or Hanau) specialized in showroom pieces for luxury export.
Weight: 18.8 g, a lightness that underscores the finesse and elegance of the silverwork of this period.

Note: This is not just a simple tool; it is a desk jewel over 130 years old, a witness to Swiss refinement of 1880.
