Pair of antique letter openers with carved bone handles terminating in cloven hoof forms. Likely dating to the late 19th to early 20th century, these novelty desk tools reflect the sporting and country-house aesthetic popular during the period.
One opener retains its original bone sheath. Natural patina, tonal variation, and surface spotting to the bone are consistent with age and use. A rare and charming desk accessory set.
Larger of the two is 6.5" in length, the shorter is 5.75".
