About the Item

Antique Geschutzt Viennese Art Nouveau Bronze Inkwell with Art Glass This exquisite Geschützt Viennese Art Nouveau inkwell is a masterful example of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Fashioned from gilded bronze, it features intricate floral motifs and elegant curvilinear forms that are quintessential to the Art Nouveau movement. The inkwell is adorned with a stunning art glass insert, which exhibits vibrant, iridescent hues that catch the light beautifully. Its design seamlessly blends utility with artistry, making it not only a functional desk accessory but also a striking decorative piece. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Vienna emerged as a cultural hub of the Art Nouveau movement, or Jugendstil as it was known in German-speaking regions. Artists and artisans sought to create works that celebrated natural forms and intricate ornamentation, often rejecting the rigid structures of earlier styles. The term "Geschützt," meaning "protected" in German, was commonly used to mark registered designs, ensuring their exclusivity and authenticity. Viennese bronzes, in particular, gained international renown for their attention to detail and exquisite finishes. Desk accessories like this inkwell were highly fashionable among Europe’s elite, symbolizing status, taste, and an appreciation for fine artistry. This piece likely graced the desk of a discerning collector or intellectual, serving as both a practical writing tool and an emblem of cultural sophistication. Condition Report Excellent, with minimal signs of wear consistent with age and careful use. The gilded bronze frame retains much of its original lustre, with only minor patina and faint surface scratches in keeping with its age, enhancing its antique charm. The art glass is intact, free from cracks, chips, or repairs. Its iridescent surface shows vibrant colors and remains securely fitted within the bronze frame. The hinged lid operates smoothly and aligns properly when closed. The inkwell interior is clean and usable.
