Austrian Gilt Bronze Owl Inkwell Pen Tray Signed Bergmann Geschützt

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Bushells Antiques

This is an antique Austrian desk accessory crafted from cast bronze with a gilded finish. The object consists of two main components: a figural owl and a large feather base. The owl figure serves as an inkwell; its head is hinged to open and close, revealing a cavity designed to hold a glass ink chamber. The expansive feather component functions as a pen tray or rest. The piece bears impressed marks on the underside consistent with the Franz Bergmann foundry, including the signature ''Bergmann'' and the German mark ''GESCHÜTZT'', which translates to ''protected'' or ''registered''. This type of item dates approximately to the late 19th or early 20th century. Detailed work throughout the feather textures and the anatomical features of the owl.
