Magnificent Antique Austrian Art Deco Bronze Borzoi Double Inkwell & Blotter Set
Up for sale is a truly monumental, executive-scale Austrian desk set from the early 20th century Art Deco period. This museum-quality set is crafted from a massive, beautifully veined slab of genuine green onyx and features multi-patinated Vienna bronze figures of Borzoi (Russian Wolfhounds).
This is a rare, multi-piece set that has managed to stay together for nearly a century. It includes:
1. Grand Double Inkwell: Features two hinged, onyx-capped ink pots and two exquisitely detailed, large-scale bronze Borzoi figures. Stamped "AUSTRIA" cleanly into the stone.
2. Matching Rocker Blotter: A separate, heavy green onyx and brass hand blotter featuring a third matching recumbent Borzoi bronze figure.
Impressive Size & Weight:
* Length: 15.5 inches
* Width: 9 inches
* Weight: Approximately 16 pounds (extremely substantial and solid)
Condition Report:
Outstanding antique condition. The massive green onyx base is beautifully preserved with a brilliant polish and no major structural cracks or severe damage. The bronze figures boast an exceptional, untouched dark original patina with fine casting details down to the dogs' fur. As is typical for sets of this age, the inner glass/ceramic cups for the ink pots are missing, leaving the raw brass interior wells (showing authentic historic ink residue).
Please see all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic condition. This item will be double-boxed and professionally packed with maximum padding to ensure safe delivery.
