Antique Metal Blacksmith Figural Vide Poche Desk Tray Marble Base c.1900 Germany
Description:
Antique German figural vide poche desk tray with a blacksmith at work. We think that it's spelter/pot metal, but not 100% sure. Mounted on a solid marble base. The figure is depicted holding a hammer and tongs over an anvil
Marked “Germany” on the metal base, consistent with export pieces produced in the late 19th to early 20th century. This style is commonly associated with the Art Nouveau to early Art Deco transition period, roughly circa 1900–1925.
Approx. Dimensions: 7 3/8" Diameter Base x 9 3/4"H
Weight: 5lbs 9oz
Good antique condition overall. Surface wear consistent with age. Minor oxidation/discoloration to metal. Marble shows typical wear, light scratches, and natural inclusions
