This Art Deco inkstand is a sleek and functional piece with a modernist design. It features a rectangular wooden base with curved sides and grooved accents. The base supports a raised platform in the back made of the same wood, which houses two chrome inkwell inserts covered by square wooden lids. A cylindrical piece, likely decorative or serving as “mini” shelves, sits between the inkwells and a curved pen tray. The overall design is characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and the combination of natural wood and polished metal, typical of the Art Deco style.
