AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Superb Art Deco desk set in polychrome marble of pink, cream, and veined black, adorned with gilded metal mounts. This elegant ensemble includes two inkwells with geometric lids, a wooden dip-pen holder (not antique), a decorative terrestrial globe and its blotter matching with a pinecone-shaped handle.
The geometric design of the lids, the symmetric lines, and the use of noble materials are characteristic of the Art Deco style of the 1925-1935 period.
The dip-pen holder and the globe rest on a iridescent-reflective base whose colors vary with tilt and light, ranging from green to pink, violet or blue, offering a very striking decorative effect.
