About the Item
Commanding 1920s Art Deco Rosso Levanto Red Marble Inkwell and Pen Rest
This striking Art Deco inkwell and pen rest, dating to the 1920s, is crafted from richly figured Rosso Levanto red marble, a material prized for its deep wine-red hue veined with elegant white and gray tracery. The design is bold and architectural, featuring a hinged cube inkwell atop a gracefully ovular marble base with a perfectly carved pen rest at the front. The result is a stately, sculptural form that embodies the sophistication and power of the early Art Deco era.
The hinge appears to be bronze and operates smoothly, suggesting the quality of its original craftsmanship. There is no glass or metal insert present, and it’s possible the piece was originally designed without one. The condition is very good, with only light wear consistent with age and use.
This decorative Art Deco desk accessory is not only a functional piece of history but also a statement object, the kind of commanding presence that would have once anchored the desk of a 1920s power player. Today, it’s ready to take pride of place on your own desk or collection, where its vivid red marble and timeless geometry will make it a true showstopper.
Please see photos for details, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
