Dog’s Head Inkwell – Late 19th Century in Bronze and Crystal

Charming late 19th-century inkwell with a molded crystal base. It is topped with a bronze lid depicting a realistically and expressively modeled dog’s head.

Originally intended to adorn a desk and hold ink, this object reflects the taste for refined accessories that characterized the late 19th century.

Today, it can also be used as a paperweight, while retaining its decorative charm and unique presence.
