Lot 146: A Victorian/Art Nouveau Style Cased Three-Piece White Metal Writing Desk Set

A cased desk set from the late 19th to early 20th century, comprising three white metal implements: a letter opener, a fluted pen holder, and a wax seal. Each implement is elaborately decorated with ornate floral motifs, predominantly roses, and features a small shield or cartouche with a crest-like emblem. The set is presented in a hinged, rectangular box with a green textured exterior, likely leatherette or paper, and a fitted interior lined with cream-colored satin in the lid and green velvet in the base. The lid’s interior bears the text “Artas.”
