Vintage Dip Pen Figural Desk Set

Vintage Dip Pen Figural Desk Set

This 1900 Anonymous Dip Pen Figural Desk Set measures 10" x 5" x 3/4" with a grey marble base with beveled front edge and one pen storage groove. The base is adorned with a large figural bird sitting on a tree trunk and an inkwell with a hinged top and porcelain insert. The bird figure and inkwell may be bronze (I don’t know for sure - I can tell you that they look cast and a magnet does not stick to them). Very attractive. The accompanying dip pen holder is sterling silver repousse with a “Falcon” pen nib. The pen has its original patina - will polish on request. Near mint+. Item #73 in Catalog #84.
