Description
This magnifying glass hangs from its own stand alongside a letter opener and a bottle opener, keeping three useful desk tools together in one tidy spot. Each tool has a brown turned handle with ribbed detailing at the lower end and a shiny gold cap at the top, and all three hang from a gold crossbar on a slim upright pole. The magnifying glass has a round glass lens in a gold rim, the letter opener ends in a slender gold blade, and the bottle opener has a patterned gold frame. A brown knob tops the pole, and a round domed gold base holds everything steady. It stands 29.5cm tall, 11.6cm wide and 9.3cm deep.
Because it is freestanding, it needs no wall fixing and no drawer space. Stand it on a desk, a writing bureau, a bookshelf or a hall table, and the tools are ready whenever you want them. The magnifying glass helps with small print on letters, maps, labels and recipes, the letter opener slips through envelopes when the post arrives, and the bottle opener deals with a crown cap at the end of the day. At 11.6cm wide it fits a crowded study or a small home office without taking over, and the brown and gold colouring sits happily beside dark furniture and well-loved books.
Each tool hangs from the crossbar by its gold cap, so you can lift one down to use it and hang it back afterwards. The gold parts have a shiny finish, and a soft dry cloth is all they need for dusting, along with the brown handles. Wipe the glass lens with a clean, soft cloth to keep it clear and free of fingerprints. Stand it where you sort the post or read, and it earns its place every day. We think it also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes a well-kept desk.
