Antique French Bronze Inkwell: Victorian Crystal Jars, Lion Paw Feet

This is for an absolutely beautiful large antique Circa 1890's French Bronze Double Ink Well, writing station. The Encrier has two large areas where the cut crystal hinged lidded ink wells sit. I show it with a second use as a candle holder with candles placed in the ink wells, you could also put a fresh flower in the glass ink containers! Remove any left over wax and dry the item when done to keep in the best condition.

The bronze was cast to include lion paw feet, to the lids on the ink wells and a centerpiece figural face to add to the full Louis XV styling. This is unusually large measuring: 7 inches tall x 15 inches wide x 8 inches deep.

*The piece sits a bit off, due to feet height difference, so have clear rubber on back foot to keep from rocking if touched. The original green marble / stone centerpiece also has a crack but there is a brass piece on base so won't break more if taken care of.

Please note that all items in my shop are vintage, antique, or previously loved and may show gentle signs of age and use consistent with vintage condition. Any significant flaws or condition issues beyond normal wear will always be noted in the description and photographs.

I carefully source my pieces from estate sales and vintage collections throughout Arizona and research each item to provide the most accurate details possible.
