Antique late 19th/early 20th century French silvered bronze figural desk inkwell Superbly cast sculptural figure representing the head of a faun/devil /satanic fiqure, with a mask, in opulent Rococo style. Its ears are designed as pen stands. It holds 2 pencils. This is a genuine attic find, that was kept hidden for generations From an angel banished from heaven to an old red-faced man with horns, the Prince of Darkness has been depicted in many different ways over the years. The demonic figure, as it is understood today, is actually a synthesis of centuries of art, literature and theatre. This elegant sculpture is much more than an ink container, and can be placed on your desk as a messenger that reflects its contents on your paper.
