Inktpot behorend bij inktstel c. 1773s

This silver inkstand, crafted by Laurens Potmans around 1773, is a beautiful example of Rococo style, characterized by its delicate ornamentation and asymmetrical forms. The inkstand is comprised of a pear-shaped central inkwell flanked by two smaller containers, likely for quills and sand, all resting on an ornate, oval-shaped tray with three ornate feet. The piece demonstrates the skilled craftsmanship of the period, with each element carefully crafted and adorned with intricate details. The use of silver and the naturalistic design, reminiscent of fruit and flowers, speaks to the opulence and refined taste of the Rococo era.
