Description

A stunning Art Nouveau silver shoe horn featuring bold repousse acanthus leaf and wave scrollwork cascading across its broad paddle face, accented by an engraved script monogram mid-handle. The handle tapers dramatically to a slender neck with fine linear detailing along the spine. Shows honest age-related patina and minor surface wear consistent with a well-loved antique, adding to its undeniable charm.

This showstopper of a shoe horn boasts pierced openwork fretwork borders running the full length of its elongated tapered handle, framing a central cartouche with an engraved script monogram. The lower handle flares into an elegant trefoil base adorned with wheat sheaf and ribbon bow motifs in high relief. Both front and reverse display crisp detail, suggesting quality silversmithing from the Edwardian or late Victorian period.

The third piece in this distinguished trio features lush repousse grape clusters and trailing vine leaves rendered in exceptional three-dimensional relief across its wide teardrop-shaped paddle. The upper handle carries additional grape and leaf detailing framing a smooth open center panel, while the reverse displays a beautifully chased foliate scene. A true standout for collectors of antique silver or Victorian decorative arts.
