A 19th Century Kashmiri Papier-Maché Desk Tidy Ink and Pen Stand, Hand Painted.
An exquisite 19th century Kashmiri handmade and hand-painted ink stand with elaborate, fine detail, circa 1850-1870.
A very fine quality ink stand with wonderful hand painted decoration and colours, measuring 29cm wide and 20cm deep in mostly excellent structural and original condition, minus the ink pots which are easily replaceable and often no longer used.
Please note the underside is missing a foot, it sits correctly and doesn’t lean awkwardly and the foot is to the back but may want replacing. Currently selling as it is and sensibly priced to reflect the four or, we may end listing and have foot replaced and relist at a revised price.
A rare and early Kashmiri ink stand, this would have been an important desk piece.
