FAQs

Sampson Mordan was a renowned London-based maker active in the 19th and early 20th centuries, famous for patenting the first mechanical pencil and producing high-quality silver novelty items, scent bottles, and desk accessories.

Desk paper clips of this era were typically constructed from sterling silver or brass, frequently mounted on heavy supportive bases made of green marble, serpentine, or hardwoods to provide stability.

Authentic pieces usually bear the makers stamp SM alongside standard British hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office.

This piece can be placed atop a stack of leather-bound books on an executive desk or styled on a mantlepiece to add a touch of traditional equestrian character to a contemporary interior.

Sterling silver should be cleaned sparingly using a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive substances. The stone base should be wiped gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
