Inkwell Shaped Like A Horse-drawn Carriage, Mid-19th Century
A charming inkwell shaped like a horse-drawn carriage pulled by two horses; the roof opens to reveal a porcelain cup with gold trim.
The carriage is made of silver-plated bronze, the horses of matte bronze, and the floor, along with certain details such as the doors and the drawbar, are also in matte bronze—giving the piece an appearance that is both elegant and whimsical.
The carriage sits on a gilded bronze base designed to resemble cobblestones.
There is no manufacturer’s mark on this object, but it may have been a custom-made or master craftsman’s piece, suggesting that it is a one-of-a-kind item dating from the mid-19th century.
Showing signs of wear, particularly on the roof of the inkwell, this beautiful object was not merely decorative; it was both practical and a pleasure to look at.
