About the Item

This striking vintage inkwell desk set was crafted in the French Alps, circa 1950, and reflects the region’s long tradition of Alpine and Black Forest, inspired decorative arts. Mounted on a rectangular walnut base, the sculptural desk accessory features a finely cast and patinated deer standing proudly at center, its antlers raised in an expressive naturalistic pose. The composition is flanked by two cut glass inkwells set into metal mounts, and further embellished with stylized foliage, floral elements, and an integrated pen holder. The combination of sculptural metalwork, glass, and warm walnut creates a balanced and visually engaging desktop object that is both functional and decorative. The vintage inkwell is in excellent condition, with a rich, even patina throughout the metal elements and no issues to the glass inserts or wood base. A handsome and characterful piece, it would make a refined addition to a study, library, or executive desk, and appeals to collectors of Alpine décor, hunting motifs, and mid-century desk accessories.
