A two-piece cold painted bronze art nouveau desk set with a parrot from pen and ink stand and blotter. Retains the original paint, which is in good condition and bright colors. The pen holder was made for a fountain or quill pen, and the style is Art Nouveau, ca 1880-1900. Although no signature has been found, this appears to be an Austrian cold painted bronze. The pen holder is about 10" X 5 1/2", the blotter 5 1/2". RL*
