About the Item

An attractive early 19th century Regency period bronze and Ormolu oval Pen Tray, with thistle, fruit and flower handles, having cut-glass inkwells, quill holders, candleholder and central lidded wafer box, all supported on scrolled shell feet. This Pentray is a beautiful oval shape which we believe to be most desirable, the Ormolu is finely cast with attractive floral and fruit decoration. The Pentray would look fabulous upon a ladies writing table.
