Description

A really quite wonderful inkwell or inkstand, with a cast bronze Elephant being up on his two rear legs and balancing on a tree trunk which happens to be a pen wipe to remove excess ink from the pens nib.

The plinth is made from solid Oak and is decorated on all four sides with solid cast brass mounts.

A very stylish and scarce desk accessory to add to your collection or to display on your desk.
