ABOUT PRODUCTID 17073
This Art Deco desk inkwell and letter holder set, originating from Poland in the 1920s/1930s, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the interwar era. The composition pairs deep-black, highly polished hyalite glass—distinguished by its lustrous sheen and sharply defined rectangular contours—with chrome-plated metal fixtures and accents. The cylindrical inkwell is topped with a domed, mirror-polished lid featuring a small ball finial, while fine, concentric rings along the collar embody machine-age Art Deco precision. A rear letter rack crafted from two elegantly arched, slim chrome rods and two symmetrical front clips provide dedicated spaces for correspondence and loose notes. The overall silhouette balances form and function, underscoring the modernist origins of the object. All metal parts remain untarnished and lustrous, and the set displays an excellent, nearly pristine condition—the glass and chrome surfaces are glossy, crisp, and undamaged, with no chips, scratches, or restorations. This ensemble evokes the disciplined elegance and graphic clarity of Art Deco: the deep black glass reflects the light like lacquer, while the cool chrome, routed with geometric confidence, hints at a story of machine-age optimism, order, and rationality. The design echoes the mood of a modernist office, where precision merged with a carefully restrained decorative language—the inkwell seemingly recalls the silhouettes of urban architecture, and the letter rack tidily arranges daily affairs into measured rhythm. The set can serve as a statement piece on a walnut or mahogany writing desk, accompanied by geometric picture frames and a period-correct, minimalist desk lamp. Within an Art Deco or classical modernist interior, it may be paired with lacquered metal accessories or faceted glass objects; it also works well on a console table in the study, where its contrast of materials and highlight of polished surfaces coalesce with other objects
