20th Century Italian Solid Silver Inkstans Empyre Style

About the Item

Empire style 800 silver inkstand The base of the inkstand, completely handmade, is shaped like a "cathedral". The classic "palmettes" of the Empire style have been chiseled around its entire perimeter. The base is supported by 4 feet in the shape of acanthus leaves, made with the fusion method and then subsequently chiseled. The two ink holders, placed at the ends of the structure, are round in shape and finely chiseled with pods and again with small palm leaves. The hinged lid is finished with a pine cone shaped knob. At the center of the inkstand there is an elegant candle holder with a sinuous shape, engraved and knurled in the lower part. In the central part of the inkstand, which supports the bud for the candle, there is a ram's head made with the fusion technique and then chiseled. The whole object is very balanced and perfect in shapes and proportions.
