A finely executed desk inkwell crafted in the Empire style, featuring richly colored lapis lazuli panels combined with elaborate dore bronze mounts and classical decorative elements. The rectangular form is both functional and highly ornamental, designed as a luxurious writing accessory.
The body is inlaid with deep blue lapis lazuli, displaying natural speckling and tonal variation that contrast beautifully with the warm gilt bronze framework. The front and sides are adorned with finely cast bronze mounts, including classical motifs such as wreaths, garlands, and symbolic emblems, all executed with precision and symmetry.
The top is thoughtfully arranged with integrated compartments, including a central cylindrical inkwell with a fitted lid, flanked by pen rests in the form of stylized boat shapes. Additional corner mounts and decorative elements enhance both the functionality and visual complexity of the piece.
The base is supported by small rounded feet, providing stability while maintaining a refined profile. The combination of luxurious materials and classical design makes this inkwell an ideal decorative object for a desk, study, or curated collection.
Dimensions: 11x18.5x11.5
