AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming antique desk inkstand, made of fine porcelain decorated with polychrome floral motifs with gilded accents, mounted on a support with a metal (brass / copper) collector tray.
The inkwell is equipped with its original lid, of mixed design (smooth porcelain interior and metal upper part).
Please note: a small part of the upper cover is missing, as visible in the photographs. This defect remains discreet and does not affect the stability or the overall decorative appearance of the object.
The original small chain is present, a sought-after element and often absent.
The natural patina of the metal and the slight wear of the gilding are consistent with the age and attest to the authenticity of the entire piece.
A beautiful object from the Belle Époque, ideal for a collection of writing objects or for a classic-style office.
