Preserved structure with original patina. Natural oxidation (verdigris) is observed inside the reservoir and lid, consistent with the historical use of ferro-gallic inks.

This gilt bronze inkwell is an example of 19th-century decorative arts, designed in the Rococo style. The piece is notable for its asymmetric ornamentation and casting quality.

History of the object: During the second half of the 19th century, the revival of historical styles, known as Historicism, popularized Neo-Rococo. This style sought to emulate the elegance of the Louis XV era through the use of natural motifs, scrolls, and organic forms. This object was conceived as a functional and decorative element for high-end offices.
