About this piece

Late 19th-century Parisian paper knife or page turner by Gustave Keller, combining rock crystal, polished ivory and 18kt yellow gold. The rock crystal handle terminates in an intaglio monogram that appears to read “VS,” allowing the piece to double as a wax seal. The blade is a solid piece of polished ivory for turning pages of large antique books or slicing open large envelopes.

Signed “G. Keller,” with French gold standard hallmark and the engraving “G. Keller Paris.” Keller, active from 1856 to 1947, worked in both silver and gold and produced a broad range of objects from tea services and flatware to cosmetic cases. The firm is recorded as having royal clients, including the last Tsar of Russia and the Spanish royal family.
