Twelve 19th Century Painted and Gilt Metal Desk Accessories

About the Item

In a time of computers and technology, this antique desk set harks back to a more romantic period when people read letters at their desks by candlelight, and responded to them, writing in ink and sealing the envelope with a wax stamp. The desk set is comprised of twelve gilt and painted metal pieces: two inkwells (one tall, with handles, the other more squat and without handles), a pair of candlesticks, a bell (with which to call a servant), a spoon (to melt wax with) and stamp, a candleholder, a shallow dish (possibly an ashtray), an ink blotter, a pen tray, and a letter-opener. These items are stored in a red velvet-lined wooden case, which is marked on its exterior with an interlocking, ‘TM’. All the twelve items are designed in a refined, Neoclassical style. Several of the pieces have fluted stems, and most are edged with fine painted decoration. These paintings depict flower garlands, which are a combination of light green, purple and white in their colour. This desk set will make a superb addition to a study, library or living room.
