Description from the seller

Superb Art Nouveau Brass Inkwell – Botanical Decoration and Naturalistic Inspiration
An elegant brass desk set, characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic, favoring organic curves and motifs inspired by the plant world.
The piece stands out for its covered central inkwell, delicately crafted in the shape of a flower bud and topped with a lid richly adorned with radiating motifs reminiscent of a blossoming flower.
It rests on an oblong tray with rounded lines, accompanied by two elegant botanical side pieces whose ends evoke flower corollas. The ensemble features a particularly decorative harmony of curves, reliefs, and volumes.
The brass’s aged patina lends the piece added depth and authenticity.
A beautiful collectible and decorative object, testament to the refinement of the decorative arts of the Art Nouveau period, at the intersection of art and fine craftsmanship.
Material: brass.
Style: Art Nouveau.
Condition: aged patina, signs of use, and marks of age.
