BRONZE WRITING SET. 19TH CENTURY.
Decorative Antiques -
Reference: Z0376
Writing desk. Bronze. 19th century. On a tray with curved edges, decorated with moldings and scallop shells, sit the four containers that make up the writing set. The sand tray, the feather duster, and the inkwell feature clean lines and smooth surfaces, combined with fine moldings resembling a cord; the oval box with a lid topped with a knob displays smooth moldings across its entire exterior surface. While certain details (particularly the tray) might recall some 18th-century Rococo works, the subdued movement of the tray, the decoration of the containers, the clean lines, and the lack of prominent decorative elements are more characteristic of 18th- and 19th-century Neoclassicism, as is the inspiration drawn from past styles and the combination of various influences in a single piece.
