Charming antique desk set consisting of a gilded metal letter holder, finely crafted, adorned with a hand-painted decor depicting delicate roses and a small bird in flight, on a matte gold background.
The lightweight structure, with bamboo-style turned uprights and an openwork base, evokes the refinement of desk accessories from the late 19th - early 20th century, combining decorative elegance with practical use. Two small openwork baskets are used to hold the bottles.
The set is accompanied by two glass bottles, harmoniously integrated into the letter holder and sold with it.
✧ To note (transparency)
The original bottles being incomplete, they have been replaced by two more recent bottles, chosen for their discretion and their perfect harmony with the letter holder.
