<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> UNIQUE AND GORGEOUS. </em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> This is an incredible Louis XV inkstand made of gilt bronze. It has a putti holding a shell, and beside the putti is a candle holder. The base is decoraded like a garden with vegetation and a snail.

The shell is to hold the ink. Beautifully modeled.

Attached to the base by hand-made screws. Given that the candle holder is a slightly different colour it may be a replacement. Does not denigrate from the magnificance of this piece. </td></tr><tr> <td> </td></tr><tr> <td>Reference #: TPA_00018</td></tr><tr><td>Condition:EXCELLENT</td></tr><tr><td>Year:C1750</td></tr><tr><td>Country:FRANCE</td></tr><tr><td>Height:5.5</td></tr><tr><td>Depth:4</td></tr><tr><td>Width:5.5</td></tr><tr><td>Title:MID 18TH CENTURY GILT BRONZE INKSTAND PUTTI</td></tr><tr><td>Materials:BRONZE</td></tr><tr><td>Location:Ottawa, Canada</td></tr></table>
