Antique Silver Mounted Otter Page Turner

1920 - 1940
Description

A good example of an antique taxidermy otter paw mounted into a page turner. It has a silver collar engraved "Essex Farmers. 2.3.35" and it is clearly hallmarked for Birmingham, 1934 and the maker C.T Burrows & Sons. It has a beautiful rosewood page turner fitted to the silver mount.

It is in very good condition for its age. The paw itself is well preserved with a good colour. There are some minor surface marks and signs of age and use to the silver collar but nothing detrimental. It displays beautifully but is also a very usable piece.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Tracked UK Delivery £7

Rest of the world £25

FAQs

Page turners were nineteenth and early twentieth-century library accessories created to turn the delicate pages of large books, photo albums, or manuscripts without transferring natural skin oils or soil.

These desk implements typically feature silver mounts, hallmarked sterling silver ferrules, and blades made of ebony, ivory, bone, or tortoiseshell, sometimes paired with natural taxidermy handles.

Authentic pieces feature official British silver hallmarks stamped into the metal collar, hand-fitted joinery between the blade and handle, and age-consistent surface patina.

Arrange the object flat on an office desk alongside a leather blotter, or position it atop a stack of vintage hardcover volumes inside a bookcase.

Gently buff the silver fitting with a dry microfibre cloth to remove tarnish, keep organic elements dry, and store the object away from direct sunlight or humid environments.
