ABOUT PRODUCTID 4981
This Art Deco desk inkwell, crafted by Antique Madsen & T BAAGOES of Denmark, exemplifies the refined synthesis of function and decoration characteristic of its era. The body is composed of silver-plated brass and pewter, displaying a cool, satin-matte finish with subtle patina and gentle age marks. The geometric owl figurine, rendered in a streamlined, symmetrical style, sits atop a stylized book at the center. Beneath the owl, a glass inkwell is discreetly nestled, while the broad, softly rounded tray with a slightly domed surface provides space for writing instruments. The piece bears the manufacturer’s mark and measures 30 × 18 × 16 cm. It is in very good condition—silver plating largely preserved, glass free of damage, and only minor surface wear and natural patination present. This inkwell channels the disciplined lightness of the 1920s, with Art Deco’s language expressed through the owl’s architectural silhouette and poised gaze. The metallic sheen of silver-plated metal contrasts with the clarity of glass, reflecting light across the tray’s smooth surface. It evokes the atmosphere of an elegant study, where everyday objects become miniature sculptures and utility harmonizes with decorative restraint. The inkwell could be displayed on a walnut or mahogany writing desk, paired with a marble document tray or a black lacquer
