Inkstand representing Queen Isabel the Catholic - Desk set - Marble, Metal

Magnificent and monumental Spanish inkstand of impressive dimensions, crafted in patinated bronze and veined marble, featuring a spectacular equestrian representation of Queen Isabella I of Castile (Isabella the Catholic), one of the most iconic figures in Spanish history.

The sculptural composition depicts Queen Isabella riding a richly caparisoned horse, accompanied by two attendants, creating a scene of remarkable elegance and historical character. The exceptional craftsmanship is evident in the finely modelled garments, crown, horse tack and ornamental details, highlighting the artistic quality of the piece.

The ensemble rests on a substantial polished veined marble base supported by elegant bronze feet. On either side of the central composition are two lidded bronze inkwells, perfectly integrated into the design, giving the inkstand both visual balance and practical functionality.

Thanks to its imposing size, outstanding decorative appeal and the harmonious combination of bronze and marble, this piece is far more than a writing accessory—it is a striking work of Spanish decorative art, ideally suited for a prestigious office, library, private collection or refined interior.

The inkstand is preserved in exceptional condition, with no visible breaks or restorations, retaining an attractive original patina and presenting beautifully overall.
