A finely cast Italian Renaissance Revival bronze inkwell dating from the late 19th century. The circular inkwell is supported by three winged figures raised on claw feet, while the lid is surmounted by a striking model of the Florentine Marzocco lion standing upright and holding a shield — an iconic symbol of civic Florence. The deep naturally aged patina accentuates the sculptural modelling and gives the bronze a particularly rich surface. Originally intended as a writing accessory, the piece now serves equally well as a decorative object for: – a desk – a library – a collector’s cabinet – a Grand Tour interior
A small but highly characterful object with strong historical appeal.
Dimensions Height: 16 cm Diameter: 8 cm Very good condition with age-appropriate patina.
