Solid Silver Pencil Holder with Pencil Sampson Mordan & Co
A fine antique solid-silver pencil holder by the renowned makers Sampson Mordan & Co., celebrated pioneers of mechanical pencils and luxury writing instruments. Elegant and tactile, this example features a fluted cylindrical body with a suspension ring that extends smoothly to reveal the pencil when in use.
Although not fully hallmarked, it is clearly identified by the maker’s name engraved on the body—a common practice for certain Sampson Mordan pieces, particularly small personal accessories.
