Victorian Novelty Knife Box Shaped Wooden Inkwell
About the Item

The box hand crafted in mahogany is of tall shaped with a bellowed round front with flat shaped sides and back.

The top is mounted with a blank copper cartouche with a dummy key escutcheon to the lower front body. The base is applied with a velvet protector, probably a later addition and the inkwell is not marked.
