French Novelty Inkwell

French gilt brass “novelty” inkwell in the form of a hat box. On the top is a copy of Figaro, with an umbrella or parasol on the marble base. The porcelain liner is probably a later replacement. Some wear to gilt. Additional photographs and information available on request. FaceTime facility available. Please be aware that the item is old and antique, so study any photographs to satisfy yourself as to its condition as much as possible. While we take all efforts to provide something that is fit for the use intended there many be various condition issues that are commensurate with age and considered part of its history, and are very subjective. However, you have legal rights and Consumer Contract Regulations (2014) still apply for “Distance Selling “ if this is not a “face-to-face” purchase.
