This is a vintage or antique cast brass (or bronze) letter opener and page turner featuring a detailed figural handle. The top depicts a draped scholar, monk, or classical figure holding a scroll or quill, perched above a hilt adorned with geometric Art Deco linear motifs. Crafted from solid cast metal, the piece has developed a rich, authentic aged patina with darkened accents in the recessed details that emphasize its fine craftsmanship. The blade tapers smoothly down to a rounded tip, making it both a functional desk accessory and a striking display piece. The item is in good vintage condition, exhibiting minor surface wear, light oxidation, and surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. The reverse side shows a smooth, flattened cast finish with minor finish wear.
