The handle is formed from genuine antler, beautifully contoured and rich in character, culminating in a finely hand-chased silver mount depicting a thistle—an enduring symbol of Scotland—rendered with remarkable detail and depth.

Hallmarked to the thistle mount for Edinburgh and Aberdeen and dated 1898, with the maker’s mark “CM,” this is a rare provincial example that speaks to both regional silversmithing traditions and the Victorian fascination with natural forms. The blade is crafted from solid wood, measuring approximately 8 inches long and 0.75 inches wide, lending warmth and balance to the piece while remaining perfectly suited for gentle use with books, manuscripts, or correspondence. Overall dimensions measure an impressive 15.25 inches in length and 4.5 inches in width, giving the piece a commanding presence whether in hand or on display. Good antique condition with light signs of wear and handling. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Equally at home as a functional desk accessory or as a curated display object, this page turner is a fascinating collector’s piece—rich in history, craftsmanship, and visual appeal. See less
