ABOUT PRODUCTID 18033
This Art Deco writing set from the 1920s, crafted in Germany under the DRGM designation, comprises a paper knife, envelope opener, wax seal stamp, and pen. The handles are made from multicolored Bakelite, featuring a marbled pattern in black, gray, and white, with a high-gloss finish that accentuates the depth and movement within the material. The blades and metal tips, as well as the seal base, are fashioned from gilt bronze, offering a subdued, warm reflective surface. The proportions throughout are slender and elongated, with delicate geometry emphasized by gold-tone rings and inlays characteristic of the Art Deco era. The set is housed in its original case with dimensions 28 × 9 × 3 cm. The pieces are preserved in very good condition; there are no notable chips or cracks, only minimal patina on metal elements that attests to the set's authenticity.The design of these instruments recalls the dynamism of the 1920s, an age when modernity and geometric rigor entered objects of daily use. The Bakelite handles resemble miniature fragments of abstract paintings, introducing a subtle hint of experimentation and the refinement sought by cultured offices of interwar Europe. Gold bronze accents lead the eye along smooth profiles, merging utility with ornament—an echo of a time when even writing tools aspired to the status of applied art.This set could be displayed atop a veneered writing desk, surrounded by simple geometric accessories or as a complement to a classic office outfitted with mahogany furniture and glass. It would also work in contemporary, minimalist settings as a statement accent, especially alongside era-authentic ceramics or a glass paperweight. It may be paired with Bauhaus-style lamps and leather-bound folders, uniting function with the enduring tradition and discreet elegance of collectible artifacts.
