19th Century French Enameled Champlevé Inkwell

About the Item

A stunning and rare French mid-19th century encier in Louis Revival taste with Moorish Arabesque influence. Handcrafted in Champlevé enameled gilt bronze with ornate and colorful blue, pink, red, green and white enameling over the heavily shaped and scalloped base, that borders the stunning Severes style (I have not removed it to check for a makers mark) enameled porcelain tray scene of frolicking putti. The stunning enameling continues on the raised inkwell body and hinged lid with finial. Opposite, two raised balls act as a pen rest, the inkstand raising on four ball feet. Similar to French cloisonne, each champlevé design is a one-of-a-kind work of art. A beautiful warm verdigris patina adds to its character and charm. This wonderful antique objet d'art is sure to bring a touch of elegant sophistication along while adding a splash of vibrant color and design to any desk. Dimensions approx 6"W, 4"D, 3.5"H Detailed condition report: Original, unrestored, antique condition. Minor verdigris (patina perfection) throughout. Light wear and fading, commensurate with age. The initials MA are lightly scratched onto the reverse.
