A Desk Stand That Serves As Both An Inkwell And A Heat Source

Made of polychrome metal, this peddler stands on the Parisian cobblestones with his basket on his back, accompanied by a suitcase and a basket with a lid; the ensemble forms a pyrogen, with the matches in his basket serving as a striker, the basket with the lid can hold the inkwell and the suitcase the quills. It is mounted on a contoured, black-stained wooden base, late 19th century.
