Vintage Marquetry Wood Letter Opener

This vintage wooden letter opener features a long tapered blade-form body and a decorative handle made with geometric marquetry or parquetry-style inlay in contrasting wood tones. The form is sleek and minimalist, with a folk-art or handcrafted appearance that makes it both useful and decorative on a desk. It appears to be made entirely of wood rather than metal, likely as a souvenir, artisan desk accessory, or handmade office piece from the mid-to-late 20th century.
