About the Item

Stunning desk piece. This good size Art Nouveau ink-stand is signed by Andre Villien (see image 7). Villien was a French sculptor and decorator who worked in Paris between 1905 and 1924. The combination of the beautiful marble and the patinated, cast bronze inkwell holders with leafs is a joy to watch and to own. Also makes a great gift. If you like this inkwell as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially, since perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary. Maximum width x depth x height: 12.5 x 8 x 4.75 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings on 1stdibs by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
