Reference Number: Avaluer:3988443 Country/Region of Origin: France
Style: Louis XV Age: 1850-1899
Original/Reproduction: Original Type: Inkwell
Color: Gold
Original Description:
This is a delightful 19th Century gilt bronze inkwell with brass cups done in an elegant Louis XV style. For those of you who love elegance and exquisite quality, this lovely accessory will be the perfect addition to your home decor. The original clear glass inserts are still intact, which is remarkable for a piece this old. One of the inserts has a crack in it, but it's not noticeable once the inserts have been placed into the brass holders and the lids closed. The inserts can be seen... in picture 5 placed in front of the inkwell. This fine antique item is in very good condition with minimal wear to the gilding.

The inkwell measures 9" (23 cm) long and 6 1/2" (16.5 cm) wide. The height at its highest point in back is 3 1/4" (8.3 cm). As you will notice in the pictures, this inkwell isn't symmetrical, a style that was very popular during the reign of Louis XV. One of the most popular design elements in the 18th Century in France was the acanthus leaf, which was incorporated into carved picture frames, mantel clocks and gilt bronze drawer pulls.
Please study the pictures carefully as they constitute an integral part of the description. If you have a question about any aspect of this item that I haven't already covered, just ask me. I want you to be happy with your purchase!
