Two Letter Openers of Glass

anonymous, c. 1890 - c. 1900

This drawing was made for the well-known glassmaking firm E. Leveillé-Rousseau. The stylized plants and flowers were probably made of glass, but they could also be metal. It is not clear whether this is a design drawing, or the representation of two objects from the stock of Leveillé-Rousseau.
