A Magnificent Inkwell
What a beautiful piece! Such an unusual form
for an inkwell. The double ormolu inkwell rests on three feet and the curved
wires could hold a pen. The wires extend underneath the inkwell to provide a
fourth leg for support. Two small glass inkwells are inserted in the two
openings. Impressed designs and raised beads resembling a necklace are found
on the surface around the inkwells! A medallion behind the pen holder
certainly adds to the charm of this piece! The ormolu is strong and brilliant.
A splendid accessory for that special desk!
Measurements: 2-1/4w. x 1"h. (for the wires that
extend upward)
