A vintage mid-century desk accessory fashioned as a stylised dachshund, likely produced in the mid-20th century. The piece is constructed from cast brass and features a sleek, elongated form typical of the Austrian school of modernist metalware. The head is detailed with two inset green cabochon eyes, possibly made of glass. The long, tapering body rests on four integrated stubby legs, while the tail extends into a slender, curved blade designed for opening correspondence. The metal surfaces exhibit a naturally aged patina. There are no visible maker’s marks or stamps on the underside or body of the object.
