19th century small French gilt bronze inkstand
A fine gilt bronze inkstand of unusually small proportions, circa 1860
This wonderfully detailed bronze inkstand is of unusably small proportions and was made to most likely compliment a lady's writing table. It is oval with a moulded base which is mounted with a detailed bronze study of a rural scene of a young man harvesting corn with a sickle. The bushels of corn hide the inkpot which hinges back to reveal a white porcelain container. There is also a pen holder and a small container for matches with an accompanying match striker on the reverse of the inkstand used for lighting a candle to illuminate a desk or table. This delightful piece is finished with a combination of gilt and patinated bronze which is a complicated and expensive finish. This high quality bronze is in excellent original condition. French, circa 1860
Height 10cm x width 15cm x depth 8cm
