Balkans, probably Serbia, from the Ottoman Turkish period: a writing set, dated 1849
An old writing set, consisting of an elongated feather container (L: 22 cm) and a soldered inkwell (H: 4 cm). Both made of cast brass, with lids and hinges. The feather container displays an old, but later lid made of iron (old original repair). Both pieces are elaborately engraved with leafy tendrils and floral decorations. The feather container displays the engraved inscription ‘1849’ in a floral medallion, as well as the name of its owner in Cyrillic script on its backside. An old object in good condition. Serbia was under the rule of the Ottoman Turks until 1913. (ME)
