Letter Opener by Edgar Brandt

This Edgar Brandt Letter Opener features four fiddleheads in wrought iron. These tightly coiled shoots are further detailed with a dark patina, filling each young leaf with exquisite detail. During the turn of the century, Europe was struck with pteridomania, also known as the fern craze, whereby all class and creed of people collected ferns. Edgar Brandt became famous for his spiral motif, namely his fiddlehead ferns & cabbage roses. Gracing the staircases of designers such as Paul Poiret, Edgar Brandt was always in vogue.
