A portable manicure tool comprising a steel nail file with a decorative sterling silver handle and a matching silver sheath. The handle and sheath feature matching repoussé decoration consisting of stylised floral sprays and diagonal lattice work, finished with reeded borders. The sheath is fitted with a suspension ring for attachment to a chatelaine or watch chain. The collar of the nail file handle is stamped with the numerals 925, indicating sterling silver purity. The absence of traditional British hallmarks suggests a possible continental European origin or production for an export market. The steel file blade features a traditional cross-hatched abrasive surface.
