Description from the seller

This is a set of office supplies from France: an inkwell and paper cutter made of French enamel. These were essential office supplies for every teacher and leader between the 1850s and 1900s. In the 19th century, letters were opened with a knife, though this is no longer the case and very few remain. French enamel white is particularly rare. The set measures 11 cm in height, 20.3 cm in length, and 14.5 cm in width. The paper cutter is 19.3 cm long and weighs 752g. Do you have this set? Please make an offer, thank you!

Seller's Story

I am a middle-aged man living in Italy, born in the 1970s. I love life, sports, collecting, and visiting European antique fairs and shops. I collect old and medieval objects from the East and Europe, including porcelain, silverware, bronzeware, banknotes, and stamps. This is my life.
