Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1890s.

The woven back of the "fence" stands between two posts topped with brass or bronze spherical mounts, these have a wonderful aged patina.
The posts in turn have the two original supports used to house a dip pen, I have included the pen which is in perfect keeping although not of such age.

Dating to around 1890, late Victorian in period, the piece is absolutely splendid condition and measures 5 3/4" x 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" tall at rear; each inkwell measures 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 2 1/4" tall.
