Description from the seller
Two Art Nouveau ink pots – ca. 1890, of which one is marked Janco (Belgium)
A stylish pair of two Art Nouveau ink pots, dating from circa 1890, executed in the characteristic graceful style of the fin de siècle. These objects reflect the elegant and functional form of writing implements from this period.
The ink pots show organic lines and refined details, typical for Art Nouveau, with inspiration from nature at the core. One of the pots is marked “Janco – Made in Belgium,” which points to Belgian origin and the quality of production.
Such ink pots were part of a well-kept writing desk and were both practical and decorative. Today they are valued as collectible items within European arts and crafts.
An attractive and characterful duo that fits perfectly within a collection of Art Nouveau or antique writing accessories.
