Lot Description

Edwardian silver mounted and leather blotting folder, the silver front with central initialled cartouche surrounded by elaborate pierced and embossed decoration depicting floral, foliate and scroll motifs against a diaper pattern, opening to reveal a material lined interior.  Silver hallmarked William Comyns & Sons, London 1904.  Height measures 11 5/8 inches (29.5 cm).

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

The silver mount is very tarnished all over and there are various small holes, splits and dints in the metal throughout.  The initialled cartouche also displays a large dent to the centre.  The hallmarks are difficult to find in the decoration but are legible.  The rest of the folder is not in very good condition, it is very worn and marked and is falling apart. The spine has broken so that it is now in two pieces.
