A handsome French Napoleon III–style three-piece desk set in richly veined Portoro marble with bronze mounts. Dating to the early 20th century (circa 1920s–30s), the set blends classic 19th-century French elegance with subtle Art Deco influence. The deep black marble, streaked with dramatic gold and cream veining, is paired with bronze fittings that have developed a warm natural patina over time and use. A decorative yet practical antique desk accessory set, showcasing fine materials and craftsmanship. The set comprises:
Inkstand: Marble tray with two lidded inkwells (with cobalt blue glass liners) and a cast bronze eagle with outstretched wings at the centre. A letter Rack: Matching marble and bronze holder with dividers for organising correspondence (one ormulu decorative mount missing).
Blotter Rocker: The top of a marble blotter used to absorb excess ink from handwritten pages (the absorbent blotter is missing).
