Jugendstil J.P. Kayser Inkstand / Inkwell with Great Hamlet & Skull Sculpture
About the Item
Stunning and important Kayserzinn pewter inkwell, designed by Hugo Leven.
Who, in this day and age, would ask a top quality sculptor to design and execute a stunning sculpture with historical and cultural significance and incorporate that in an inkwell? Nobody, because the inkwell would then have to cost an absolute fortune. The quality of this stylized Hamlet figure holding a skull is absolutely breath taking. His amazing body posture in a seated position and the way this hole work of art seems to be flowing and alive shows the skill of the master sculptor Hugo Leven. Combine the quality of this sculpture with its amazing patina and you get one of the most artistic and desirable inkstands we have ever seen. If you like this rare and highly aesthetic work of decorative art from the early 1900s as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taken into account that worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is complimentary.
Maximum width x height x depth: 13.7 x 8.5 x 8.5 inches.
We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).
