Double encrier antique en onyx calcite avec couvercles en laiton, daté 1900–1910, style transitionnel fin du XIXe siècle/début du XXe siècle.

Résumé assisté par IA

Description fournie par le vendeur

Settings antique double desk inkwell crafted from calcite onyx in honey, amber, caramel and soft cream tones, displaying natural veining and gentle colour transitions throughout the stone.

The substantial stepped base and brass hinged lids reflect a transitional design from the late 19th to early 20th century. Both original brass lids remain functional and display authentic age-related patina. Interior wells show historic ink staining consistent with genuine period use.

The underside remains unpolished, showing original quarry-cut surfaces typical of early 20th century stone desk objects, confirming authentic workshop manufacture.

A genuine antique writing desk piece with strong material presence and visible history of use.

Period
Late 19th/Early 20th century

Material
– Calcite onyx (honey / amber / caramel / cream tones)
– Brass hinged lids (original)

Dimensions & Weight
Length: approx. 20 cm
Width: approx. 16 cm
Height: approx. 8 cm
Weight: approx. 0.72 kg

Condition
Authentic antique condition consistent with age and historical use:
– Minor edge nibbles and small chips
– Surface wear from decades of handling
– Original brass lids with natural patina and oxidation
– Interior ink staining present
– Felt pads added at a later stage
– Underside remains raw / unpolished (original quarry-cut finish)
No structural cracks. Lids open and close.
All imperfections are visible in photos and form part of the object’s genuine antique character.

Styling suggestion
Beautiful as a statement antique desk object, styled on a writing table, library shelf, or console. Pairs exceptionally well with dark wood, leather, and brass accents.
When placed near a light source, the calcite onyx softly interacts with light, revealing subtle internal depth and warmth in the stone — a particularly attractive feature in evening or ambient lighting.
Also works wonderfully as a sculptural decorative piece when no longer used functionally.

Shipping
Carefully packed for safe international shipping.
The inkwell will be professionally wrapped in multiple protective layers, with reinforced boxing and internal cushioning to protect both stone and brass components.
Tracked and insured shipment.
