About the Item
Fine 19th Century Russian Siena Marble and Ormolu Inkwell
A fine quality Russian inkwell dating to the late 19th century, crafted in richly veined Siena marble and mounted with detailed gilt bronze (ormolu) in the neoclassical taste. The domed lid features intricate casting and a foliate finial, lifting to reveal a clean white ceramic liner.
This decorative piece reflects the elegance and craftsmanship associated with Russian desk objects of the Imperial period. Removed from a London townhouse collection, it makes a tasteful addition to a traditional interior or collector’s desk ensemble.
