This bookmark must have once been owned by a very fine reader indeed. Was it a noble lord or even a king? Imagine the leather-bound tomes that it has graced in its 200-year-old life. This is an exceptional and very rare solid sterling silver bookmark from the early 1800s featuring a royal design of heraldic shields, tiny castles, and a crown within a rococo-shaped setting. For those of us who love to read about history and nobility, what could be a more beautiful way to adorn the page?
