Description

Bat - Antique double inkwell in bronze from the 19th century - Art Nouveau

Rare large antique writing desk (or inkwell) in gilded bronze with esoteric inspiration on an ovoid tray.

A spectacular bat with outstretched wings forms a backrest between the two doors with lids for ink.

The second half of the 19th century was a period characterised by a taste for the strange, the esoteric and the gothic, which is beautifully represented here by the bat.

Pen tray for storing pens.

A superb piece!

No signature - Old-fashioned assembly with screws and squares visible underneath.

One can also imagine that it was commissioned by a workshop to furnish the desk of a cabinet of curiosities of the time!

Dimensions: 25.5x19cm Height: 9cm - Weight: 2.2Kg
