Item description

An original and rare French inkwell; the entire large circular frame is made of dark wood, inside of which is a brass tray above which is the housing for the ink bottle; the wooden parts have been carved with decorations reminiscent of acanthus leaves, a clear reference to the Empire style; the flask is made of cut crystal, shaped so that it can be placed firmly in its seat; the flask has a graceful wooden stopper with an elegant metal decoration at the top. The inkwell was made in the Napoleon III style between 1875 and 1880 by a master cabinetmaker in a qualified carpenter's workshop in the town of Pont-De-Beauvoisin, a French commune in the Isère department, nicknamed the 'City of Furniture' for its ancient tradition of woodworking. Napoleon III's style echoes the more serious and austere forms of the First Empire, but the eclecticism of the period makes it more graceful, refined and elegant, reflecting and well representing the socio-cultural and economic period that France was then experiencing. Our inkwell is a simple and charming object that, by virtue of its extreme elegance and its strong, decisive line, makes it pleasingly placeable on any desk or writing table. Measurements diameter cm.22, height cm.19. The inkwell is in good condition. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, polystyrene, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
