This 19th-century anonymous design for a pen and ink stand showcases a detailed illustration of a three-piece set. The central element is a bell-shaped container topped with a female bust, while two smaller, cylindrical containers flank it. The artwork highlights the ornate, decorative elements of the pen and ink stand, featuring intricate patterns and a gold color scheme. This drawing would have served as a blueprint for the production of the actual pen and ink stand, offering insight into the design preferences of the time.
