51323-Antique French Art Nouveau Anémone Silver-plated Copper Book Marker

51323-Antique French Art Nouveau Anémone Silver-plated Copper Letter Opener Bookmark This elegant Art Nouveau letter opener/bookmark embodies early 20th-century European style with flowing, organic lines and a detailed Anemone floral motif in a graceful "budding" state. Featuring the rare "Anémone" (French for Anemone) cursive engraving, this piece highlights the era’s focus on capturing the delicate moment of botanical nature before it blooms. Originally crafted as a silver-plated copper piece, decades of handling and gentle friction have beautifully worn away the silver plating on the front, revealing the rich, warm copper base underneath. The reverse side and intricate floral relief still handsomely retain their original silver layer, creating an authentic and unintentional two-tone contrast born of genuine history. *Content：1 Piece。 *Size：L 10.5 cm, W 1.8 cm, H 0.5 cm。 *Weight：95g。 *Material：Silver-plated Copper。 *Origin：France 。 *Year：Circa 1900 to 1920s。 *Hallmarks ：Authentic cursive series stamp “Anémone” engraved on the blade。 *Reference code : W60623-2323。 ⚠️ Condition：Antique with authentic patina.
