19th-Century French Bronze Bulldog Inkwell by M. Bertin on Marble Base

About the Item

An exquisite 19th-century French inkwell, featuring a finely detailed bronze bulldog, signed by the artist M. Bertin. The bulldog, with its characteristic strong and determined expression, is attached by a delicate chain to a richly veined green marble base, providing a sturdy and elegant foundation. The marble base supports a brass-trimmed inkwell, adding both functionality and sophistication to the piece. This inkwell not only serves as a practical desk accessory but also as a beautiful sculptural object, embodying the craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of French artisanship in the 19th century. A perfect addition for collectors of antique inkwells or French bronzes.
