A striking fusion of classical design and refined materials, this piece features two bronze inkwells adorned with intricate, dimensional details — each topped with delicately hinged lids, a testament to the artistry of 19th-century craftsmanship.

The central font offers a recessed pen rest, while a graceful bronze beaded border elegantly frames the ends, adding texture and contrast to the smooth stone surface. The main body is crafted from a luxurious white marble base, richly veined in green contrast, creating a bold and eye-catching presentation that beautifully complements the warm patina of the bronze.

Substantial in both presence and weight, this inkwell stand measures 9.75 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 3.5 inches high, with a solid, reassuring weight of 7 pounds. Good antique condition, some scratches to surface, ink staining around inkwell edge, small chips to vase edges. Untouched age-related darkening to bronze. One glass liner is missing and can be replaced. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Perfect as a statement desk accessory, distinguished décor accent, or thoughtful gift for the discerning collector, this piece is a true celebration of period style and enduring elegance. See less
