Description from the seller

A beautiful and highly detailed antique double and heavy ink set from France, made around the turn of the century (ca. 1890-1910) in the graceful Art Nouveau / Belle Époque style.

This classic desk ornament is designed by the French sculptor Antoni (A.) Bossu (not signed). In the center stands a beautifully detailed, elaborately dressed horse. On both sides there are two ink pots with decorative lids. At the front there is a handy, shell-shaped groove that serves as a pen holder. Behind the horse are two supports—the horseshoe where letters or pens can rest against.
