This is a beautiful blotter holder with a sterling silver cover, made by S.W. Smith & Co. of England in 1902. The exquisite repoussé technique applied to the entire surface vividly depicts blooming flowers and two birds with overwhelming three-dimensionality. The smooth blank space in the center is a traditional design originally intended for engraving the owner's initials. Once a luxurious tool used to dry ink on letters at a writing desk, in modern life, it can serve as a holder for important letter sets or notepads, gracing your study desk with elegance. The genuine luster, preserved for over 120 years, will bring a moment of enrichment to your daily desk work.
