Art Deco Gilded Bronze Nude Inkwell*
Item Description
Rare and absolutely delightful Art Deco gilded bronze inkwell and pen holder.
The helpful young lady is kneeling down on a stepped onyx base, proffering the pen which she is holding forward in her outstretched hands.
She’s a very Deco girl, nude and somewhat baby faced, with short cropped swept back hair and a confident smile.
The lid covering the ink pot sits just in front of her on a slightly lower step.
A great design, dating from circa 1930 and signed on the onyx H. Grûnn, about whom we can find no information.
When we acquired this piece it had no inkpot, as is so often the case, but we’ve inserted a new glass one that’s been tailor-made to fit perfectly. The pen shown in the photographs is also not part of the original but can be supplied with it if required.
Measuring around 19.5 cm in length, 8.5 wide and 21.5 cm high.
