A striking and substantial antique double inkwell desk set, crafted in solid brass with exceptional weight and presence, featuring finely detailed neoclassical figural relief and dual cut crystal inkwells with hinged lids.
This piece embodies the elegance of early 20th century European design, drawing inspiration from classical French forms. The richly cast base is adorned with continuous figural motifs, offering depth, movement, and a sculptural quality rarely seen in standard desk accessories. The central handle adds both function and architectural balance.
The crystal inkwells are beautifully faceted, catching light and adding contrast against the warm patina of the brass. The overall composition reads as both functional object and decorative sculpture—ideal for a curated desk, library, or layered vignette.

Minor surface wear, light markings, and tonal variations are present and consistent with age, contributing to its authentic, collected look. The crystal inkwells remain intact and beautifully faceted, with only minimal signs of wear typical of antique glass. Hinged lids operate smoothly and align well. A well-preserved and complete piece that presents elegantly, with age-appropriate wear that adds to its charm and distinction. less
