Description

A wonderful and rare large figural inkwell, beautifully executed in the form of an Owl with fine detail.

The hinged head lifts to reveal a fitted ink chamber which looks to be a clock part that the manufacturer has used in the same workshop signed " Made in Britain and France Manufacturer of the British United Clock Company ". This company was formed in Birmingham, England in 1885 and closed in 1909 this piece would have been an additional product made by this company.

The handsome Owl retains it's two stunning large glass eyes and he sits on a naturalistic wooden branch.

Dating to c.1890, Victorian in era, the piece stands an impressive 8 3/4" tall, the branch measuring 9 1/4" wide and the depth measuring approximately 4".

Excellent condition.
