AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco Crystal Double Inkwell Desk Set - Torriani & C. Milan Distribution, 1930s"
An elegant and beautifully preserved Italian Art Deco double inkwell desk set, believed to date from the 1930s, featuring the striking geometric lines and refined combination of materials characteristic of the Art Deco period.
This sophisticated desk accessory features two substantial, beautifully faceted transparent glass inkwells, each fitted with a square black lid and a silver-toned metal finial.
Both inkwells rest on individual silver-toned metal mounts, accompanied by two matching pen rests, all arranged symmetrically on a magnificent glossy black rectangular base.
The contrast between the brilliant transparent glass, reflective black surface and silver-toned metal creates a particularly elegant and architectural composition.
Origin and period
Acquired in Italy, this piece is believed to date from approximately 1930–1940, reflecting the geometric elegance and modernist influences of Italian Art Deco design. The manufacturer remains unidentified.
An old handwritten inventory label is still present on the underside, adding an interesting historical detail to the piece.
Condition:
Very attractive vintage condition, retaining its original character and authentic patina.
The metal components display natural signs of oxidation and age, while the underside shows wear consistent with its presumed period. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
