Art Deco Continental Silver Sarcophagus

A striking Art Deco sarcophagus charm, formerly a propelling pencil and now preserved as a distinctive piece of continental silver design. The sarcophagus form reflects the strong Egyptian Revival influence of the Art Deco period, when motifs drawn from antiquity symbolised eternity, protection, and mystery.

Crafted in continental silver and marked ‘800’ with a maker’s mark, the piece has a pleasing weight and sculptural presence. Light wear commensurate with age adds character without detracting from its crisp lines and bold form. An unusual and highly collectable object that bridges functional design and decorative art.
