FAQs

Sterling silver dip pens and combination letter openers were popular desk accessories in the early 20th century, often manufactured as souvenirs or presentation pieces for stately homes and institutions.

These instruments were typically crafted from solid sterling silver, frequently featuring steel or gold nibs, and sometimes incorporated metal alloys or crystal details.

Authenticity is verified through clear British hallmarks indicating the assay office, silver standard, and date letter, alongside makers marks and crisp engraved lettering.

This piece can be displayed on a traditional mahogany desk or incorporated into a modern study using a clear acrylic display stand to highlight its fine metalwork.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh abrasives that could wear away delicate engravings.
