Carved Wooden Pencil Holder with Letter Opener
Hand-carved by Steiner Dornach in Switzerland, this desk set pairs a cylindrical pencil holder with its original matching letter opener. The carved relief wraps continuously around both pieces, allowing the pattern to flow uninterrupted from one object to the next.
Years of use have enriched the timber with a warm, even patina, particularly around the base where it has rested against a desk. While designed for everyday utility, it carries the quiet presence of a small sculpture.
