Antique bronze Inkwell

About the Item

Lost wax cast bronze inkwell, 16th century Central oval-shaped vase for ink masterfully decorated by four masks with different physiognomies and expressions. Supporting the same are two sirens with tails ending in phytomorphic shapes, and the container for the pen, also decorated with an impressive mask and acanthus leaves. Of very particular workmanship and of great charm, this refined inkwell can, in our opinion, be included in the Venetian production of the 16th century Dimensions: 8 x 8.7 x 9.3 cm The work, like all our other objects, is sold accompanied by certificates of authenticity and lawful origin. The object is provided with the free movement permit, issued by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage, which certifies its age and gives the object the possibility of being exported.
