c. 1900 Antique English Sterling Silver Pencil Holder, S. Mordan & Co.

This is a sterling silver pencil holder by the prestigious British firm Sampson Mordan & Co, renowned for their patents on propelling pencils..

The entire body is intricately hand-engraved with flowing scroll patterns that evoke the spirit of the late Victorian and Art Nouveau periods, lending the piece the shadows and substantial feel unique to solid silver. It features a clever mechanism where sliding the ring extends or retracts the pencil, and by passing a chain through the ring, it can be worn as a pendant or charm..

This luxurious piece of stationery adds a touch of beautiful British craftsmanship and prestige to the mundane moments of opening a notebook or planner. While there are minor signs of age-related wear, the engravings remain deep, and the piece is in excellent condition for both practical use and display..
