  • 19th Century French Enameled Champlevé Inkwell
    Located in Forney, TX
    A stunning and rare French mid-19th century encier in Louis Revival taste with Moorish Arabesque influence.

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.
