About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century French inkwell is a striking example of fine craftsmanship, blending luxurious marble and ornate gilt bronze detailing. The substantial marble base, with its rich veining and stepped edges, provides an elegant foundation for the decorative elements above. At the center stands a finely cast gilt bronze rooster, a symbol of strength and vigilance in French heritage, mounted on a polished Sienna marble pedestal. Flanking the sculpture are two inkwells, intricately adorned with gilt bronze wreaths and inset hardstone cameos, evoking a sense of classical refinement. Each inkwell features a hinged lid, revealing the original ink reservoirs inside. This French desk accessory is both functional and decorative, making it a superb addition to a curated library, writing desk, or antique collection. Whether displayed as a statement piece or used for traditional calligraphy, this ornate inkwell embodies the elegance of 19th-century French design.
