A beautifully cast 19th century French bronze inkwell, rich with neoclassical influence and ornate detailing.
This finely patinated bronze piece features a classical urn-form body adorned with laurel garlands and three portrait medallions depicting Greco-Roman style figures.
The hinged lid reveals an intricately embossed interior with a ceremonial urn motif, opening to a white porcelain liner — likely original to the piece.
Raised on a circular foot and accompanied by its original matching bronze stand tray, this inkwell is both decorative and functional.
The piece is a stunning example of French craftsmanship from the late 1800s, perfect for collectors of classical revival antiques or those looking to elevate their desk with historical charm.
