Late Eighteenth Century Spanish Brass Standish / Desk Set C.1790

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A fabulous example of an eighteenth century standish, having been professionally re-polished to gleam.

The stand has a handle to be held just like a chamberstick and opposite is a receptacle for a candle with a small desk bell that sits on top and doubles as a candle snuffer.

The central handle has four holes presumably for pens, two of the pots too have similar holes, I am unsure if these would be used for ink allowing the pen to sit in the ink while not used. One of the other pots is a pounce pot or sander and one other lidded pot.

A super early piece dating to around 1790 and miraculous that it has all remained together as a complete set. Excellent condition measuring 8" including handle x 6 3/4" x 7" tall to top of handle.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
