Arts & Crafts Arrowhead Letter Opener

Ref: 8425

SOLD

Circa 1910 silver letter opener incorporating an authentic indigenous arrowhead as well as a turquoise cabochon. Unmarked but quite possibly the work of Joseph Heinrichs, an American artist active in New York in Paris from the late 1800's up through the 1930's. Heinrichs was known for utilizing original arrowheads as well as doing primitive silver wire wrapping on his works. In addition, he frequently produced desktop items such as letter openers.

This piece has not been polished, and as with all metalwork of the Arts & Crafts era, we do not recommend polishing it. 

Dimensions: 10"x1.5"
