Exceptional Quality Egyptian Revival Puma Raised Bi-Metal Desk Stand

About the Item

An exceptional quality Art Nouveau Egyptian revival Continental brass and copper desk stand raised on four puma feet and dating from the early 20th Century. Probably French the heavily made desk stand is of rectangular form and stands raised on four out-stretched puma corners with intertwined rear bodies and tails. The pumas support a copper inset tray mounted with two brass bodied inkwells with glass liners and domed covers with central finials. The body of the tray and inkwells is molded in low relief with typical stylized and linear period patterning with the inkwells attached with bolts and screws to the underside. Removable glass liners marked PARIS sit within the inkwell recesses below the lift off square shaped covers. Both inkwells have residue ink deposits in red and black. Despite the exceptional quality of this desk stand, it is not apparently marked however, undoubtedly, by a major designer/maker. Provenance: Acquired from the UK Art Market The inkwell is offered in polished condition and is a wonderful display and statement piece. One small screw missing to the base. A highly decorative item.
