AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A fantastic Swedish Art Nouveau inkwell from the early 1900s, made in silver-plated metal and fitted with two crystal glass ink containers with hinged lids.
The piece is designed as a double inkwell mounted on a rectangular desk stand.
The stand features rich sculptural decoration with floral and rose motifs.
The silver-plated metal contrasts beautifully with the clear crystal glass inserts.
Over each inkwell is a hinged lid. The crystal is removable.
Condition:
The silver plating shows some signs of wear, revealing the golden tone of the underlying metal. There are some age spots and one oxidation mark on the left side - probably able to be polished if desired.
The crystal glass inserts are in good condition overall, with a few small chips along the edges and two corners. These are minor and the inserts remain structurally sound and in good condition. Overall, the set looks beautiful.
Measurements:
Height: approx. 6.5 cm
Width: approx. 23.5 cm
Depth: approx. 14 cm
Weight: 767 g
