 A French Encrier in cream glass and cast metal frame. By J L Bascule of Paris. Probably dating from c 1850. Known as a SNAIL inkwell because of it's shape. The inkwell is held on a swivel that allows it to be moved DOWN for use - UP to close and has a pen rest to the rear. Please note: Although the glass inkwell has been repaired with staples it is a nice example. The repair is almost certainly contemporary to the period. This has been reflected in the price. see also I/25/A & B OY/YI/OL £58.00 Ref: I/25 |
