Vintage Gucci Bamboo and Leather and Gold Gilt Desk Accessory Pen Holder Cup

About the Item

A vintage Gucci desk accessory made from bamboo and leather with the gold gilt Gucci signature on the bottom. The perfect pen cup (or pen holder, pen stand, pen organizer) for your office desk (or anywhere for that matter). Chic. Vintage. Patinated. A standout in its beauty, refinement and choice of materials. The actual piece of bamboo is natural and unique. The leather is well worn and broken in. This is really the only pen cup you'll ever need. It can pull double duty to hold extra long matches. Or maybe even makeup brushes. Your only limitation is your imagination when you start with great design. How you'll use it is up to you! I'm sure you already know, but I was curious so I researched a little of Gucci's history... "Gucci was founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci (1881–1953) in Florence, Tuscany. Under the direction of Aldo Gucci (son of Guccio), Gucci became a worldwide-known brand, an icon of the Italian dolce vita period." There's obviously a lot more to their story, but the most important thing may be their iconic tag line, "Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten."

  • Fine Antique Onyx and Bronze Desk Ink Stand Pen Rest Faux Book and Blotter Set
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A fine and antique onyx and bronze desk set featuring a sculpture of Rodin's Thinker done by Hungarian sculptor Andor Ruff. From the AskArt website, "Andor Ruff was born in 1885, in Taksony, Hungary. Ruff studied in Budapest and Brussels. After that, he lived and worked as a sculptor, landscape painter, and draftsman in Budapest. Andor Ruff passed away in 1951." The oval shaped, double, bronze mounted inkwell features the sculpture as well as a pen rest or vide poche. In addition to the inkwell, the set also includes an onyx and bronze blotter and an onyx and bronze box in the style of a book. The 'pages' are in bronze in a deckled style, the spine, also in bronze, features a 'leather' styling and the 'hard cover' of the book features a monogram in bronze. According to the Crystal Council website, "Green Onyx is associated with the planet Mercury, which is known to represent intelligence, elevated brain power, and enhanced memory. It is meant for anyone who wants to speak truth from the heart. This mineral opens up and actives the heart, in alignment to the brain, producing honesty and powerful realizations." Seems rather fitting for a desk set, wouldn't you agree? I can only imagine the beautiful and heartfelt letters you will pen thanks to this set. And the sculpture of Auguste Rodin's Thinker - well, that really sets the tone. The measurements listed are for the figural double inkwell...
