Penholder in molded black marble, surmounted by a bronze statuette with brown patina representing Michelangelo's"Moses".
The statue of Moses, executed around 1513-1515 for the Tomb of Julius II in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, is a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance. The Renaissance, like the Middle Ages, was a rich source of inspiration for 19th-century artists, who delighted in imitating or interpreting the works of past centuries.
Our Inkwell has two golden bronze cups at the ends of the Marble tray, and a penholder at the front.
Circa: 1880
