| This French, Charles X (c. 1830) standish is about as choice an example of penwork as one might find. It measures 13 3/4" wide, 9 1/2"deep, and 7" high (to the handle on top). There is one drawer a lock (but no key). The bronze handle and feet are finely detailed, as is all of the decoration. Although this sort of work is quite fragile, this piece has survived largely intact with only the expected losses to some of the edges, and one repair on the top, concave panel where the pens would rest. Originally there were, no doubt, a pair of ink wells in the recessed location on the rear top of the piece, which are no longer there. What a treasure this is! | ||||||||||
