Steel desktop inkwell, measuring 31 cm wide, 30 cm deep and 15 cm high, made in Spain and dated to 1900–1910.
Description from the seller
Elegant antique cast-iron desk inkwell set, richly decorated in a historicist style inspired by Neo-Rococo, datable to the late 19th or early 20th century. It is a piece with a strong presence and character, conceived for both functional use and ornament.
The ensemble features elaborate relief ornamentation with vegetal motifs, arabesques, and fantastical figures, highlighted at the top by a delicate central angelic figure flanked by symmetrical decorative elements. On both sides there are turned handles that reinforce its practical and decorative character.
The inkwell includes two inkwells with hinged lids, preserving their glass interiors, which adds interest and authenticity to the set. The surface shows a natural patina appropriate to its age, with light wear and signs of use that do not diminish its aesthetics but rather add charm and authenticity.
Measurements: approximately 31 cm wide x 30 cm deep x 15 cm high.
Material: cast iron with a metallic finish.
Condition, operation and dimensions: complete and structurally solid piece, with the inkwells operable and lids functional; shows normal signs of use and the passage of time (surface wear and patina), overall in very good condition for its age.
A decorative object of great visual impact, ideal for a classic desk, collection, or vintage ambiance, increasingly appreciated in the European market.
