Description from the seller
This antique Victorian-style desk accessory, dated to the late 1900s, is a piece with great decorative character and functional value. It is made of bronze or silver-plated brass, with a finish that highlights its elegance and age.
The structure features a curved tray with ornate edges, where three cylindrical containers for ink, pens, or other desktop tools are integrated. In the center rises a small candelabrum, a distinctive detail that adds verticality and sophistication to the set, evoking the intimate atmosphere of classic desks.
One of the most striking elements are the horse-head ornaments located at the ends, which provide symbolic strength and a touch of equestrian flair to the design. These details, together with the pearled edge and the lattice-backed, pierced back, reflect the Victorian era's ornamental taste, where every object combined utility with art.
It is a well-preserved piece, ideal for collectors or lovers of historic furniture, who value the beauty of everyday objects transformed into true works of art.
Insured shipping and careful packaging.
