ABOUT PRODUCTID 18105
This Art Deco desk blotter, originating from Poland and dating to the early 1920s, embodies the discreet refinement and modernist spirit of its era. The body, cut from polished black marble, is shaped into a carefully proportioned, solid block with softly rounded ends and a gently undulating top surface. Natural veining in warm beige and light brown traverses the marble, creating an organic counterpoint to the geometric rigor of the silhouette.

Measuring 17 cm in length, 6.3 cm in width, and 4.4 cm in height, the piece is sized to function elegantly on any desk or writing table. The original condition has been preserved very well: the marble remains smooth and free from damage, with only minor, age-appropriate traces of use—a testament to the object's care over a century.The design channels the voice of early modernity: the blotter quietly recalls a time when a desk accessory represented more than function—it signified order and appreciation of craft in everyday rituals.

The natural marble veining imparts individuality, infusing the composition with a quiet sense of luxury emblematic of Art Deco's golden decades.This piece could be paired with fine desk accessories—fountain pens, a Secessionist inkwell, or a brass library lamp—anchoring a workspace finished in either dark wood veneer or pale geometric surfaces. The blotter would resonate in study rooms furnished in Art Deco, modernist, or carefully curated eclectic settings. Combined with crystal glass items or minimalist details, it emphasizes its
