About the Item

Sterling silver letter opener, hand-shaped from a raw sterling silver sheet. The handle, depicting a hunting dog surrounded by flowers and leaves, was cast, chiseled, curved, and soldered onto the widest part of the letter opener. The intentionally polished blade contrasts with the fine workmanship of the handle. Made in Italy in Valenza at the ARVAL ARGENTI VALENZA silversmith's workshop.
