late 19th century Art Nouveau bronze inkwell by Maurice Frécourt (Paris, France).

This sculptural desk piece features a striking stork with outstretched wings, forming the elegant body of the inkwell. The hinged lid is beautifully cast with a nest scene, showcasing the organic textures and flowing natural forms that define the Art Nouveau movement.

The bronze displays a rich, aged patina with fine feather detailing and strong relief throughout. The piece is signed “FRECOURT” along the wing.
