Crafted in France during the mid-nineteenth century and employing the elegant marquetry technique that was developed and perfected by André-Charles Boulle in late seventeenth and early eighteenth century France, this beautiful piece is a brass-inlaid ebonised wood Encrier or inkstand.

With two brass capped inkwells on either side and a central compartment with a similarly decorated cover, the inkstand is crafted from ebonised-wood, which is inlaid with brass in intricate scrolling patterns that extend the length of the object and adorn the slanted panels on either side.

Beautifully exemplifying this type of inlaid technique seen in the likes of museum pieces made by Boulle for Louis XIV, this inkstand is a delightful desk-top piece and a fine work of Victorian craftsmanship.

Brilliant and charming letter holder with a minimalist, repeating half circle design. Features an embossed cursive plaque on the front reading “Letters.” Mid-late 20th century piece with “Japan” stamped on the underside. Perfect functional accessory to any desk.

Will be carefully packaged with plenty of materials to help ensure its safe arrival at their new home. Please message me if you have any questions.
