Just out of a local house is this fine antique French inkwell. It has gilt bronze mounts with rams head corners, floral swags, with an acanthus leaf and floral cap, all finely detailed in the Neoclassical style. The cut glass insert has a concave faceted top section, a grooved border, and a star cut base. It measures about 3 1/2 inches wide, about 3 1/2 inches deep, and about 4 1/4 inches high.
The inkwell is substantial and weighs almost 2 pounds. It is in good condition with some wear to the gilding and there is a small nick or chip on one upper corner of the cut glass insert. The cap hinge works smoothly, is not loose, and closes securely. See photos as they are part of the description. Would make a nice addition to any collection and is guaranteed as described.
