Rare Antique Classical Roman Bronze & Glass Inkstand with Crystal Glass Inkwell

About the Item

Stylish, rare and mint condition bronze, brass and glass desk piece. This completely original inkstand dates from the late 19th century and it has a large number of striking Roman emperial style elements. To find such a rare antique in museum worthy condition, again, felt like a blessing. The Roman decorations such as the chariot on the front and the architect on the lid are among the most crisp and detailed we have ever seen. The combination of the crystal glass and perfectly patinated bronze is truly magnificent and it takes a special kind of craftsman to create such a work of beauty. For us, this antique ticks all the boxes. If you agree then there is only one box left to tick and it is in the upper right part of this page. This piece sure is great value for money. Also, because perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is free. Maximum height (when closed) x width x depth: 4.7 x 8 x 8 inches.
