Year 1940 Emerald Pen Holder cts 1191

About the Item

1191 Carat Carved Emerald Pen Holder: An incredibly rare and fascinating piece, it is an antique carved emerald pen holder weighing an enormous 1191 carats in total. This is truly a one of a kind carved emerald piece. The emerald is completely natural and without any treatment whatsoever and moreover, it is in its pristine state from the time it has been part of our inventory. The carvings on the emerald are all done by hand, presumably in present day Hyderabad, given the motifs and the excellence in craftsmanship. This pen holder is one of the many rare objects that Indian kings and queens held as part of their collection, being connoisseurs of anything and everything rare as well as valuable. Pieces like this aren't even imaginable, let alone be found in the market so this is a rare opportunity for those discerning individuals and collectors looking to spice up their collection, and in the process invariably enhance the power of their desk, and be able to proudly own a great part of human history.
