A delightful antique miniature pencil crafted in 9ct gold, dating to c.1901. This dainty piece features a smooth sliding mechanism that retracts to conceal the writing tip when not in use. The top is beautifully set with a polished carnelian agate, adding a rich splash of colour and elegance. The body is finished with delicate chased detailing, giving it a refined decorative touch. The top can be unscrewed to replace the lead. A divine little piece of Edwardian ingenuity, perfect for a fob chain, chatelaine, or as a keepsake for a collector of fine writing instruments.
