About the Item
Stunning and important Kayserzinn pewter inkwell, designed by Hugo Leven.
Who, in this day and age, would ask a top quality sculptor to design and execute a stunning sculpture with historical and cultural significance and incorporate that in an inkwell? Nobody, because the inkwell would then have to cost an absolute fortune. The quality of this stylized Hamlet figure holding a skull is absolutely breath taking. His amazing body posture in a seated position and the way this hole work of art seems to be flowing and alive shows the skill of the master sculptor Hugo Leven. Combine the quality of this sculpture with its amazing patina and you get one of the most artistic and desirable inkstands we have ever seen. If you like this rare and highly aesthetic work of decorative art from the early 1900s as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taken into account that worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is complimentary.
Maximum width x height x depth: 13.7 x 8.5 x 8.5 inches.

Rare Antique Austrian Bronze Jardinière with Country Girl Figure, Jugendstil Era
Located in Lisse, NL
Austrian Jugendstil bronze centerpiece with country girl figure, circa 1900.
Step into the poetic world of late 19th-century Austria with this captivating bronze jardinière, an exquisite marriage of function and artistry. Sculpted in the romantic spirit of the Jugendstil movement, this rare piece features a serene country girl, clad in traditional dress, resting effortlessly against a broad, rounded vessel, her poised posture and delicate features immortalized in warm patinated bronze.
The girl holds a pair of modest pails, subtly referencing the pastoral rhythms of daily life, while the vessel itself, with its softly aged surface and understated curves, echoes the organic sensibilities of the Art Nouveau period. Together, they form a visual narrative that celebrates simplicity, femininity, and timeless craftsmanship.
This jardinière is more than decorative, it’s a statement piece. Whether placed on a grand console, as a centerpiece on a dining table, or displayed on a marble plinth, it invites conversation and admiration.
A museum-quality object with both soul and presence, perfect for collectors of fine Viennese bronzes or aficionados of decorative arts from the turn of the century.
