Grand Antique English Regal Lion Inkwell C.1880

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

About as regal as they get this a most unusual grand inkwell in the form of a very British Lion seated and holding a shield, used as a cartouche and retaining the original intertwined initials.

The other unusual feature of this inkwell is the hole in the mouth, used to hold a traditional dip pen. I am including this simple quill as it does fit perfectly and creates quite a show.

The crowned Lion's head is hinged and retains a glass liner for ease of refilling and cleaning.

Made from silverplate, the Lion has a good antique patina with a few high spots showing natural wear with the base metal showing.

A fabulous piece in superb condition. A good and impressive size, standing 9 3/4" tall with a base diameter measuring 5 1/4".

Item ID: 34609
