Charming Victorian Silver Desk Clip

Charming Victorian item of desk ware. This fine piece is a silver desk clip with sprung hinge and is for keeping letters and papers tidy. The front panel is fully cast and features a mythical bird to the centre, along with Acanthus scrolls and shell motifs. To the edge is a bead border, which is delightfully repeated to the base. An excellent and practical gift idea and unusual collector's piece. Hallmarks:- Clear and readable Date:- London 1887 Maker:- Stuart Clifford
