About the Item

Antique Geschutzt Viennese Art Nouveau Bronze Inkwell with Art Glass This exquisite Geschützt Viennese Art Nouveau inkwell is a masterful example of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Fashioned from gilded bronze, it features intricate floral motifs and elegant curvilinear forms that are quintessential to the Art Nouveau movement. The inkwell is adorned with a stunning art glass insert, which exhibits vibrant, iridescent hues that catch the light beautifully. Its design seamlessly blends utility with artistry, making it not only a functional desk accessory but also a striking decorative piece. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Vienna emerged as a cultural hub of the Art Nouveau movement, or Jugendstil as it was known in German-speaking regions. Artists and artisans sought to create works that celebrated natural forms and intricate ornamentation, often rejecting the rigid structures of earlier styles. The term "Geschützt," meaning "protected" in German, was commonly used to mark registered designs, ensuring their exclusivity and authenticity. Viennese bronzes, in particular, gained international renown for their attention to detail and exquisite finishes. Desk accessories like this inkwell were highly fashionable among Europe’s elite, symbolizing status, taste, and an appreciation for fine artistry. This piece likely graced the desk of a discerning collector or intellectual, serving as both a practical writing tool and an emblem of cultural sophistication. Condition Report Excellent, with minimal signs of wear consistent with age and careful use. The gilded bronze frame retains much of its original lustre, with only minor patina and faint surface scratches in keeping with its age, enhancing its antique charm. The art glass is intact, free from cracks, chips, or repairs. Its iridescent surface shows vibrant colors and remains securely fitted within the bronze frame. The hinged lid operates smoothly and aligns properly when closed. The inkwell interior is clean and usable.

Brass Arts And Crafts Jardiniere By Henry Loveridge & Co.

By Henry Loveridge & Co.

Located in Lincoln, GB

Brass Arts and Crafts Jardiniere by Henry Loveridge is a truly remarkable piece that showcases both exquisite design and exceptional craftsmanship. This heavy quality jardiniere, which may have originally served as a coal helmet, stands elegantly on three shapely legs, adding a touch of sophistication to any space. The chunky ring handles not only provide practicality but also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of the piece. Adorned with a bold band of roundels around the top, this jardiniere exudes a sense of grandeur and timeless beauty. Stamped underneath, this jardiniere is a testament to the attention to detail and superior quality that Henry Loveridge is renowned for. The company, which originated in 1840, quickly established itself as one of the largest japanners in the country during the 19th century. Initially specializing in japanware made from papier mache and tin, Loveridge's adapted to the changing market by expanding into copper and brassware as the demand for japanning declined. Unfortunately, no records or catalogs from the company have been discovered, making it necessary to rely on archaeological findings to piece together the history of Loveridge's. While it is unclear whether all of Loveridge's products were marked with a maker's mark, it is likely that only a fraction of their mass-produced items were labeled. Prior to the late 19th century, it was uncommon for trade or other marks to be placed on such items. However, a few japanned pieces and a cast iron cooking pot...
