Description
This is an antique French Rococo style inkstand dating from the 1870’s. It comes complete with the ink and pouncer pots and includes the lids.
The gold gilding has become worn over the last 150 years, which adds a wonderful, authentic time-worn patina to the piece. There are also two holes for standing the quills in.
Originally the pouncer pot was filled with a fine powder and sprinkled over the ink so it did not smudge.
The tray itself is green and gold and has a scroll effect to the bottom of the tray, with hand painted flower decoration.
A magnificent statement piece for a traditional writing desk, a prized addition for an antique collector, or a high-end theatrical prop.
It measures: 25cm at the widest point x 18cm in length x 11 cm to the tallest point.
Thanks for looking.
