A stunning and rare French mid 19th century encier in Louis Revival taste with Moorish Arabesque influence. Handcrafted in Champlevé enameled gilt bronze with ornate and colorful blue, pink, red, green and white enameling over the shaped, scalloped and stylized tray, that borders the Sèvres style enameled porcelain tray scene of frolicking putti (winged cherubs). The enameling continues on the raised inkwell body and hinged lid with finial. Opposite, two raised balls that act as a stand to rest the pen, the inkstand raising on four ball feet.
Similar to French cloisonne, each champlevé design is a one-of-a-kind work of art. A nicely aged, warm verdigris patina adds to its character and charm. This wonderful antique objet d'art is sure to bring a touch of elegant sophistication, while adding a splash of vibrant color and design to any desk.
