Triple Snail Revolving Inkwell

Very RARE Triple Snail Inkwell with cast brass fittings in a revolving brass stand.  This one has it all!  The opaque white inkwells are very desirable and less common than the clear glass normally found.  It is rare to find a triple bottle stand.  For ease of use it makes nothing but sense for it to revolve.

Snail Inkwells offer self-closing, color-coded ink bottles . . . placed upright, each bottle is open; pushed against the lid, the bottle is closed, thereby preventing evaporation.  This is the Cadillac of Inkwells, with only a very limited number manufactured, thus RARE!  The saucer shaped base measures 7 3/4" in diameter.  5" tall.  French, c. 1860
$1295.00
