Since established in the eighteenth century, Asprey of London has been the jeweler and silversmith to the British Royal Houses, and a provider of luxury wonders from and to the wide world. Its Mayfair mansion still stands today as a majestic guardian of the utmost refined taste.

An Edwardian (hallmark dated 1905) sterling silver shoe horn, gold-gilded, with a hooked handle that serves the double-function of hanging, and buttoning. A masterpiece of day-ware à la Art Nouveau the like of which has gone missing since after the Great War.
