Description from the seller

Refined 800 Silver Desktop Pen Holder, Italian Design (70s/80s)

I present to you this elegant 800 silver desktop pen holder, a distinguished object perfect for enriching a desk, a console, or a display case. This set is a collectible piece and a symbol of professional refinement. Two arches complete the object, suitable for a document holder.

The pen holder is an example of fine Italian craftsmanship, with a sober and elegant design that stylistically situates itself between the 1970s and 1980s. Its shape and materials were chosen to confer an immediate sense of prestige to the surrounding environment. The production quality is good and meticulously finished, with finishes and fine tooling marks that attest to its artisanal nature.

The set includes the body of the pen holder and a matching pen, all presented in its original storage box. The authenticity of the metal is guaranteed by the 800 silver hallmark stamped on the lower external perimeter. There is also another hallmark identifying the silversmith, which bears a numerical sequence followed by the acronym "FI" (Florence), suggesting prestigious Tuscan provenance.

Thanks to its harmonious dimensions, the pen holder discreetly and elegantly adapts to any context, from a modern office to a classic study.

Total Weight (Pen Holder + Pen): approximately 92.7 grams. Weight of the Pen Holder alone: 83.4 grams (including a small inner plastic rim that ensures stability). The included pen is visually intact but will require ink replacement.

Overall condition is good for the piece’s age. A very minor and barely visible indentation on the "neck" of the pen holder is noted, as shown in the photos, along with minute, insignificant marks at the mouth, as seen in the photos.

Packaging will be prepared with care and professionalism to ensure maximum protection. Shipping will be via a well-known and reliable courier, with trackable and insured service, for a completely secure delivery.
