About the Item

19th Century French Bronze Desk Inkwell. This ornate inkwell exemplifies the refined artistry of 19th-century French decorative metalwork, combining intricate craftsmanship with vivid enamel detailing. The bronze base features an elegant, scalloped form raised on turned feet, providing a sculptural foundation for the richly patterned champlevé enamel in shades of turquoise, cobalt, crimson, and ivory. At the center sits a lidded urn-shaped inkwell, similarly adorned with detailed enamel motifs that echo the surrounding design. Flanking the surface are two curved pen holders, adding both function and symmetry. With its harmonious blend of color, pattern, and finely cast bronze, this inkwell serves as a striking reminder of the period’s commitment to beauty in everyday objects, making it a distinguished addition to a writing desk or collection.
