Description from the seller
Rare Triptych of Mario Preziosi Inkwells - 800 Silver & Lead Crystal - NOS (New Old Stock) - Circa 1980-1990
Description:
We present in a single exclusive lot three superb inkwells produced by the historic Italian silversmith Mario Preziosi, a benchmark of Italian artisanal excellence. These objects represent the pinnacle of late 20th-century writing culture, merging the solidity of noble metal with the sculptural clarity of crystal.
Features and History:
Manufactured between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, these pieces have reached us in impeccable condition as New Old Stock (NOS). They have never been inked nor displayed, preserving the original luster of 800 silver and the brilliance of the crystal, which at the time was hand-cut to ensure superior prismatic reflections.
The Lot Includes:
Contemporary Baroque Model: Lid with rich and detailed floral embossing—a tribute to traditional Italian goldsmithing.
Art Deco Revival Model: Lid with refined guilloché geometric cross-hatching, symbolizing order and formal elegance.
Pure Elegance Model: Smooth domed lid with a mirror finish, where the quality of the silver casting speaks for itself.
Technical Details:
Materials: Solid 800 Silver (all pieces bear official hallmarks and the maker's mark) and heavy cut crystal.
Dating: Circa 1980-1990.
Condition: Exceptional, stock clearance.
Provenance: Includes 3 original period presentation boxes lined in satin/silk and 2 original authenticity tags.
A rare investment opportunity for the discerning collector or an absolute prestige addition to an executive desk.
