Description from the seller
Refined Table Pen Holder in 800 Silver, Italian Design (1970s/1980s)
I present to you this elegant table pen holder in 800 silver, a distinguished object perfect for enriching a desk, a console, or a display case. This set is a collectible piece and a symbol of professional refinement. Two arches complete the piece, suitable as a file holder.
The pen holder is an example of excellent Italian craftsmanship, with a sober and elegant design that stylistically sits between the 1970s and 1980s. Its shape and materials were chosen to convey an immediate sense of prestige to the surrounding environment. The production quality is good and very careful, with fine finishes and precise chisel work that attest to its artisanal origin.
The set includes the body of the pen holder and a matching pen, all presented in its original storage box. The metal’s authenticity is guaranteed by the 800 Silver hallmark stamped on the outer lower perimeter. There is also another identification hallmark of the silversmith, bearing a numeric sequence followed by the initials "FI" (Florence), suggesting a prestigious Tuscan provenance.
Thanks to its harmonious dimensions, the pen holder discreetly and elegantly fits into any context, from a modern office to a classic study.
Total Weight (Pen Holder + Pen): approximately 92.7 grams. Weight of the pen holder alone: 83.4 grams (including an internal plastic rim that ensures stability). The included pen is visually intact but will require ink replacement.
Overall condition is good given the piece’s age. A very slight, barely visible indentation is noted on the “neck” of the pen holder, as shown in the photos, along with minute, insignificant marks at the opening, as depicted.
The packaging will be prepared with care and professionalism to ensure maximum protection. Shipping will be via a reputable courier with tracked and insured service for a completely secure delivery.
