This Scottish provincial sterling silver and horn page turner dates from the 1920 period. The desk accessory displays a smooth, flat silver blade paired with a natural curved brown horn handle, accented by a polished silver ferrule and a rounded silver end cap. The piece measures 28 cm long by 4.5 cm wide. In a contemporary home, this item serves as a functional desk accessory on an office desk or library table. The design reflects a traditional Scottish provincial style suited to a study or workspace, combining polished metal and textured organic horn with distinct metallic shine and natural patterning.

FAQs

A page turner is a decorative desk accessory popular during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, designed to turn the pages of large or delicate volumes without leaving finger marks or damaging paper.

Page turners were typically constructed using durable and decorative materials, including sterling silver, natural horn, bone, tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, and polished hardwoods.

Authentic Scottish provincial silver pieces feature regional maker marks and town punches, such as those from Inverness or Aberdeen, rather than standard Edinburgh or Glasgow assay office marks.

Place the item flat atop a stack of hardcover books on an office desk, console table, or bookshelf to add tactile interest and historic craftsmanship to a study.

Gently polish the silver section with a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver cleaner, ensuring the natural horn handle remains dry and treated periodically with clear microcrystalline wax.
