Seller: marshall6227 ✉️ (3,534) 100%, Location: Uckfield, East Sussex, GB, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 132741992245 Stunning Solid Silver 'Celtic'Letter Opener Sheffield 1987 Cooper Bros. This is a stunning solid silver letter opener made in the Arts and Crafts Celtic design, known as the Lindisfarne pattern. It has a smooth polished finish on the blade which is complimented with the nicely cast design on the terminal. Free from inscriptions, it is tactile to hold and made from a decent gauge of silver. Condition is superb. There are no splits, dents or repairs, just the usual light surface scratches commensurate with a piece of silver which is 31 years old.The letter opener is fully functional, highly collectible and would compliment any collection. My photographs confirm condition, however further images are available if required.  The hallmarks are crisp showing Sheffield 1987, the makers being Cooper Bros. Established in 1866 by Thomas and John William Cooper, they operated from premises known as Don Plate Works, Arundel Street, Sheffield and Holborn Viaduct, London. They were manufacturers of silver and electro plated items, mainly flatware and items for the dining table. Their designs are considered to be highly artistic and this letter opener would substantiate that claim. In 1983 they were acquired by Frank Cobb & Co who in turn ceased to trade around 1987, making this one of their final pieces.This is a fine example of the quality of their work. There is a patent mark on the blade '829775'. I'm guessing that this relates to the unique Celtic design but stand to be corrected. The letter opener is 20cm long and weighs 26g. Many thanks for looking and good luck with your bidding. I will be listing more silver items from my private collection over the coming weeks and hopefully there will be something of interest for you. Please note I am unable to accept bidding from customers in China.
