An iconic vintage letter opener designed by renowned South African artist Carrol Boyes, featuring her distinctive sculptural pewter handle with scroll motifs and raised circular stud detailing. The stainless steel blade is stamped with the maker's mark and "South Africa", with the handle bearing the early embossed "C. BOYES" signature stamp. A fine functional artwork representing classic late 20th-century South African designer pewterware. Good vintage condition overall with minor superficial surface scuffs, light tarnishing, and typical micro-scratching consistent with age and gentle office use. The stainless steel blade remains straight and intact, and the pewter handle retains its solid original finish and crisp maker's stamps. Dimensions: 21 cm L
