Very nice double inkwell in silver plated spelter and gilt for the eagle, French work, circa 1880. The bird holding a worm in its beak is also a pocket watch holder. The base is in black and dark green marble with white veining. Beautiful marble condition, a slight shock (lack) at a rear corner. The base is in natural silver colour spelter, the pedestal and the eagle are gilt (rubbing without gravity), no shock. With 3 original holes in the base, a pencil box is probably missing. The inkwells are functional and their hinges are in good condition. No glass containers. Very nice dimensions: Height: 21 cm Width: 28 cm Depth: 16 cm Weight without sturdy and secure packaging: 4.370 kg
