About this seller
Product description
Elegant Art Nouveau or Neoclassical-style mail holder with inkwell and oval mirror, made of finely decorated silver-plated metal. Includes:
■ A cut-glass ink flask, encased in its housing decorated with scrolls and floral motifs in relief.
■ A hollowed-out base for feathers or small accessories, with rich bas-relief decoration: foliage, rocaille cartouches and crosses.
■ A back panel, designed to hold mail or letterhead, is surrounded by a floral wreath and topped by a carved bow.
■ A small oval mirror set in a decorative vertical panel, surrounded by foliage, stylized flowers and topped with a ribboned bow. This original mirror shows slight oxidation of the tain due to age. It was probably intended for quick grooming gestures or simple decorative refinement.
