Price: $1,450.00 USD

English Elkington Inkstand with a candle holder floral form. I recently walked into a wonderful and well known English Silver Shop and this piece took my breath away. In a shop with thousands of items it stood out. The owner explained it was a pre- electricity electroplate and cast piece. It weighs close to 5 pounds and the most detailed piece. A pastoral looking young boy is holding a flower erect which is where you would place the slender candle. His hat in front opens to reveal a well. On either side of him sits 2 flower baskets which lift up with glass inserts. The bottom of the baskets are reed like with handle and the top is a blanket of flowers. He is setting on a grassy area with 2 limb like side handles. An inkstand that tells a story... In wonderful condition with no repairs, dents..I suspect the glass inserts are replacement. Measurements: 5 by 7 3/4 by 9 1/4
