Exceptional inkwell: The LION. Bronze inkwell with a beautiful patina. A lion is lying near a tree stump. The stump is covered and contains an inkwell. The lion's head rises and hides a second inkwell. The glasses are missing, easy to find. On the front, an engraved oval cartouche: Service des Eaux NANTES June 24, 1937. This inkwell must be prior to the inscription. It is clean and in very good condition. 28.5 cm by 25.5 cm. Maximum height: 8 cm. Internal diameter for the glasses: 3.7 cm. Superb inkwell to collect or to offer.
