This is a superb Russian desk inkwell and pen holder. Made in black bakelite it is a very sculptural design, reminiscent of some of the Stalinist buildings in Moscow.
Given its size I should imagine it was meant to sit on a very large desk so as to impress visitors.
There are two covered inkwell holders with separate inset inkwells, these inkwells appear to be made of a different material possibly a rigid styrene. In between the inkwells is a space for paperclips etc and then at the front a tray for pens. On the underside there is writing in the Cyrillic alphabet which presumably gives details of the manufacturer.
The base is approximately 350 x 200mm and it stands approximately 85mm high to the top of the inkwell covers.
This inkwell will be posted with a signed-for service.
Please note. I do my best to accurately photograph and describe the condition of the items for sale, including any minor defects but all pieces are vintage and have had previous lives and so may have minor flaws.
