Reserved ~ Antique Heintz Bronze and Sterling Silver Inkwell Circa 1912
A fabulous find. This is an original Heintz solid bronze and sterling silver inkwell from 1912. The inkwell has a Jasperware cameo cabochon on the top of the lid. In near perfect condition with the rich warm golden tones only real bronze can offer.
Heintz Art Metal Shop used the letters HAMS in a diamond as a mark. Otto Heintz (1875-1918) took over the Arts & Crafts Company in Buffalo, New York, in 1903. By 1906 it had become the Heintz Art Metal Shop. It remained in business until 1930. The company made ashtrays, bookends, boxes, bowls, desk sets, vases, trophies, and smoking sets of bronze with the silver decoration applied by a process patented in 1912. The best-known pieces are made of copper, brass, and bronze with silver.
The patent number is stamped on the bottom of this piece with the words " 1190 Sterling on Bronze Pat. Aug 22, 1912"
This would make a wonderful gift for the collector and a great desk accessory for a well appointed office.
