19th Century Gilded Inkwell Depicting a Bulldog Tied to Tree Stump

About the Item

This 19th-century gilded inkwell is a captivating piece of artistry, masterfully crafted to depict a charming bulldog tethered to a rustic tree stump. With intricate details and a touch of opulence in its gilded finish, this inkwell not only serves as a functional writing instrument but also as a testament to the craftsmanship of its era.
