Inkwell - Bronze

Beautiful brass inkstand from the late 1800s to early 1900s in Baroque style, all hand-chased. Its antiquity and originality are evident from the photos of the back. It is entirely crafted with swirls and curls, featuring two round inkwells. The top part, decorated with lines and curls, is also expertly hand-chased.
Particularly notable is the area around the higher inkpot holders, designed to serve as a frame. Between the two inkpots, there is an oval-shaped object holder. The brass inkpots are also noteworthy, with detailed craftsmanship on the upper part.
Rare to find similar objects so intricately worked in chased brass throughout. It is made of solid, heavy brass.
It is large, measuring 26 cm in length and 15 cm in width.
It is made of solid brass and weighs 1181 grams.
Here, the importance of the object is evident.
I found it without glass cups, and I don't know if they were there or if it was made like that, having been washed to clean off the ink.
They were part of the furniture of the bookshelf I received, and due to the large number of books, inkwells, and pens found, I am selling many of them so they can have a new life instead of being kept closed in a wardrobe.
Many of my ancestors were collectors, which is why they had similar objects made but with different materials.
It presents itself in good condition without welds.
If desired, it can be polished. I do not like it.
I have shining metals that reflect their age, which is why I have always simply cleaned them at home, preserving the marks that have developed over the years and demonstrate their originality.
Taking it to a metal restorer, you can polish brass to make it shine. But I think it would lose value because it would look remade.
Photos that depict the beauty of the inkwell are more eloquent than words.
Beautiful as a decorative object to use on a desk table or in a bookshelf.
Among the books
When an object is beautiful, the right place is always found.
I elaborate on the description because these are objects that are part of my life, and their history has been told to me by my grandparents and parents.
For shipping, I use private couriers instead of postal services because they arrive faster, provide double packaging, and make communication simpler.
