Some objects earn their place on a desk by being useful. A few earn it by being beautiful first. This little clip manages both: a curling leaf cast in zinc alloy, finished in warm antique bronze, with a spring firm enough to actually hold things.

At 19.8 grams and barely 3.7 cm tall, it disappears into a pen case until the moment you need it — then it clips a hundred sheets of paper, a stack of tickets, a bundle of washi, or the ephemera you've been collecting for next week's spread. The filigree leaf catches the light the way old brass always does: quietly.

It is the smallest thing in the shop with the most antique soul.

FAQ

How much can it hold?
The spring opens up to 2.3 cm — about 100 sheets of standard A4 paper. It's firm enough for daily use but small enough for a pen case.

Will the finish wear off?
The clip is cast in zinc alloy with an antique bronze coating. Normal use won't wear it, though like all plated metal it appreciates dry storage.
