Gorham Fairfax Sterling Silver Letter Opener

The fascinating and richly varied Gorham legacy began in 1831 when Jabez Gorham began making coin silver spoons to respond to demand throughout New England. His commitment to uncompromising quality and old world craftsmanship is evident in each and every work crafted by Gorham for more than 190 years. Many of these works are national treasures. Others command very high prices in today's collecting world.

Fortunately, the artists and craftsmen of Gorham have passed their passion, skills and crafting techniques down through the generations. And today, Gorham maintains the same high standards followed by the founder and his masters of hand workmanship.

Elegant and enduring, the Gorham Fairfax Sterling Silver Letter Opener brings heritage design to the modern desk. Handcrafted in solid sterling silver, the handle features the iconic Fairfax pattern — introduced in 1910 — with its clean borders and geometric precision rooted in the Sheraton style, a prelude to the Art Deco movement of the 1920s.

The slim, mirror-polished handle offers a comfortable grip, while the stainless steel blade opens envelopes cleanly and effortlessly. The Fairfax Letter Opener reflects the refined simplicity and quality that have made Gorham a standard of American silver excellence for generations.

Perfect as a corporate gift, milestone keepsake, or collectible desk accessory, this piece balances classic proportion with lasting functionality. Each letter opener is fully hallmarked and presented in an elegant gift box, ready to elevate any workspace.

Made in USA. Brand New. 7.5" length.
