About the Item
Art Deco Pencil-Shaped Steel Pen Tray with Gilt Details, circa 1920s
A charming and whimsical pen tray crafted in steel with delicately gilded details, designed in the form of a classic pencil. Likely dating from the 1920s, this playful desk accessory captures the inventive spirit and refined humor characteristic of early 20th-century decorative arts.
The gently sculpted form is both functional and decorative, with subtle gilt accents providing a warm contrast to the steel surface. The design is clever yet restrained, transforming an everyday object into a sculptural statement for the writing desk.
With its distinctive shape and period character, this pen tray would make a delightful addition to a study, library, or office, appealing to collectors of Art Deco objects and unusual desk accessories alike. Its surface bears a pleasing patina, consistent with age and long use, further enhancing its authenticity and charm.
Wear consistent with age and use.
