Description
Viennese cold-painted bronze and marble inkstand by Franz Xaver Bergman
Austrian, c. 1910
Height 22cm, width 40cm, depth 17cm

Crafted by the renowned Franz Xaver Bergman (1861-1936), the inkstand is of an unusual design making this a very desirable Austrian cold-painted bronze piece.

On a dark marble base stands an elegant Arab woman dressed in Orientalist style clothing. In her hands she is holding a chain and a stick, both used to tame the two leashed panthers walking beside her. The woman and the animals are rendered in a refined colour palette where shades of gold predominate.

The central scene is flanked by bronze inkwells. Each one includes a removable porcelain liner. Their design plays cohesively with the rest of the piece. A pen niche is carved in the front part of the marble.

Showcasing an interesting scene and the highest quality craftsmanship, this inkstand would be a magnificent addition to one’s office space.

Artist/Maker: Franz Xaver Bergman
