Period: Victorian
Year: 1879

Price: $ 680.00
Weight: 500 (excluding glass inkwells) grams
Dimensions: 26.5cm long, 19.2cm across, 7.5cm high
Condition: Good, slight kink to base. Hinges and glass wells in excellent condition. It appears that an inscription has been removed, but this does not detract from the piece.

Description: Inkstand of superb quality, by reknowned maker George Fox. Both the inkwells and borders are pierced with an attractive design, and are adorned with 8 classical lion faces, 4 on each corner and 4 (with rings in mouth) around the inkwells. The stand also has a beaded border and bun feet. The lids, which are both individually hallmarked, have rose finials. The glass inkwells fit snugly into their holders.
