Vintage Irish Silver Letter Opener with an Equestrian Figure Mount.

This exceptional vintage Irish silver letter opener is a distinguished commemorative piece, crafted in 1987 to mark the 350th Anniversary of the Company of Goldsmiths.

Expertly made and fully hallmarked in Dublin, the letter opener exemplifies the fine standards of Irish silversmithing. The elegant blade is complemented by a striking equestrian figure mount, finely detailed and beautifully balanced, lending the piece both sculptural presence and practical function. The equestrian motif adds a sense of heritage and tradition, making it especially appealing to collectors of sporting or equine-themed silver.

Weighing approximately 86 grams, the piece has a reassuring, substantial feel in the hand while retaining refined proportions. The clear Dublin hallmarks dated 1987 authenticate its origin and commemorate this significant milestone in Irish goldsmithing history.

Presented in its original display box and accompanied by a commemorative card, this letter opener is not only a functional desk accessory but also a meaningful collector’s item — a superb celebration of craftsmanship, history, and Irish silver tradition.
