AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

No reserve price!

Beautiful inkpot of French origin, from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.

"Putto playing a drum"

In a very high-quality metal alloy and very detailed, marble with black and red coloration.

Small oxidations, and minimal flaws on the base.

Both glass inkpots are pristine; unfortunately only one of them has the lid.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
