About the Item

A 19th-century French inkwell in gilded brass, designed in the Napoleon III style with Rococo influence. The piece showcases flowing curves, ornate foliate scrolls, and a shell-like form typical of the revivalist taste of the Second Empire. At the center, a domed ink holder rises from a beautifully cast tray with three compartments, all united by sinuous lines and rich detailing. The surface displays natural wear and aging to the gilt, giving the piece an antique patina. The underside is stamped "J.H. Depose 264", suggesting registration with the French design office. A refined decorative piece for collectors of Napoleon III antiques, French desk accessories, or lovers of Rococo revival art. Take into account that the colors on the items may vary depending on the type of lighting and the type of screen from which you see the images.
