This elaborate antique Victorian sterling silver nail file has an intricate handle of flowers and ferns, an Art Nouveau pattern. This file would have been used to clean the dirt under the nails.
in England, such small pieces for everyday use were often not marked, or as part of a set, each item may not have been marked.. The shank and hook are not silver as was frequently the case, since silver may not have been up to the wear and tear of everyday use. So steel was usually used.
The handle is in good condition. The file or scraper is a worn steel with a bit of rust. It measures 6” long.

Our Service Pledge
Like many jewellery makers, I design necklaces I would love to wear myself. So much so, it is always hard to part with one of my pieces. When I make a necklace, I will not go ahead with it's completion until I am completely satisfied as to how it lies, how special and flattering it looks and how balanced all the details are. If it takes many attempts, I will carry on until I have that lovely "yes" feeling inside. I try to always find the best quality and colour I can, within reason and price. And I want to make you feel absolutely delighted with your purchase. Each necklace is a one-off design, so no one will have what you have. And I am pleased to say, I have always had delighted feedback and repeat buyers. Nothing is hidden. Every detail is explained, and if I have not included something you want to know, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I give a year's guarantee with every necklace, so that if threads should break, I will re-make the necklace for free, other than the postage costs. I use very special Japanese threads, expensive for me to buy, but very strong and reliable. However if a breakage occurs, as in you drop the necklace, I will have to charge you for the re-making and supply of materials. But this does not happen often. My aim is for you to be thrilled, charmed and complemented by my necklace.Payments we accept:
