Description from the seller
Refined silver 800 desk pen holder, Italian design (1970s/80s)
I present this elegant desk pen holder in 800 silver, a distinguished item perfect for enhancing a desk, a console, or a display case. This set is a collectible piece and a symbol of professional refinement.
The pen holder is an example of excellent Italian craftsmanship, with a sober and elegant design that stylistically places it between the 1970s and 1980s. Its shape and materials were chosen to immediately convey a sense of prestige to the surrounding environment. The quality of production is good and very refined, with finishes and fine craftsmanship that attest to its artisanal nature.
The set includes the pen holder body and a matching pen, all presented in its original storage box. The metal's authenticity is guaranteed by the Argento 800 hallmark stamped on the lower outer perimeter. There is also another identification hallmark of the silversmith, which bears a numerical sequence followed by the abbreviation 'FI' (Florence), suggesting a prestigious Tuscan origin.
Thanks to its harmonious size, the pen holder discreetly and elegantly fits into any setting, from a modern office to a classic study.
Total weight (Pen holder + Pen): approximately 92.7 grams. Weight of just the Pen holder: 83.4 grams (including an internal plastic rim that ensures stability). The included pen is visually intact but will require ink replacement.
The general conditions are good considering the age of the piece. A very slight and barely visible dent is noted on the 'neck' of the pen holder, as shown in the photographs.
The packaging will be carried out with care and professionalism to ensure maximum protection. The shipment will be made through a well-known and reliable courier, with tracked and insured service, for a completely secure delivery.
