Scrivener's office; France, 1840-1878. Silver. Presents punches. Measurements: 20,5 x 34 x 18,5 cm. Weight: 922 g. Scribe entirely made of silver, consisting of a base and three wells, each of them chiseled. Crowned with small figurines, they rest on a tray elevated on two feet topped with a feline claw and the sides as a finial of an amorcillo. It is a richly decorated writing desk. As is usual in 19th century art, the influence of Neoclassicism is clear in this work, as is the use of new techniques in the field of silver for the decoration of certain elements of the writing desk. The movement that can be seen in the tray, although very soft, is reminiscent of previous works of different styles, an influence that is also frequent in this period.
