Rare Louis XVI style sterling silver shoehorn, monogram JSB engraved on the handle, French hallmark Minerva first standard (.950 purity silver), silversmith mark and Sormani's signature written out in full.
Beautiful luxury 19th century production, refined item designed in its unusual silver version (ivory and tortoiseshell are much more common).
