A refined seahorse letter opener by Walter Bosse, produced by Herta Baller in Vienna, Austria, c.1950. 

Part of Bosse’s wider collection of brass animal figures and functional objects, this sculptural piece reflects his commitment to joyful design for everyday living.

The beautifully modelled seahorse is rendered with minimal lines, yet brilliantly captures the delicate nature of the creature it represents. Its curled tail and ridged spine are simplified to a rhythmic outline, while the contrasting polished brass details add a subtle decorative element. The sculpture reflects Bosse's characteristic charm which defines his much-loved portfolio of work.

This useful item features a slender, tapered blade with polished brass edges.
