Decorative ornament - Netherlands - Art Deco Inkwell set

Art Deco Double Inkwell Set – Netherlands, c. 1930–1940 Elegant double inkwell set from the Dutch interwar period, originating from Limburg. The set features two square glass inkwells with matching heavy glass lids, mounted in a metal holder on a black base. The clean geometric lines and combination of glass and metal are characteristic of late Art Deco / early Modernist design from the 1930s. This functional desk accessory would originally have been used by a professional office or study and reflects the sober and practical design tradition of Northern Europe during the interbellum period. The inkwells and metal parts are original and complete. There is some damage on the glass base and cover. The components are intentionally removable, as designed, allowing for cleaning and maintenance. The set remains in good vintage condition with normal signs of age and use consistent with an object of nearly 90 years old. A fine and decorative example of interwar desk design, suitable for collectors of Art Deco or early modernist office objects, and an attractive display piece for a desk or study. Period: circa 1930–1940 Origin: Limburg, The Netherlands Materials: glass, metal, black glass Condition: good vintage condition Complete: two inkwells with lids and metal mounts included A stylish and authentic desk accessory from the golden age of fountain pens
