Austrian Bronze French Country Inkwell with pen rest of two dachshund dogs playing and hunting in the woods. Fine reddish hue to bronze patina of a burnished cold paint.

From an early Washington DC estate collector.  Ornate quality to the dog's bodies and faces as well as a woodsy backdrop of grass and tree trunk for inkwell.

12 1/2" long x 5" wide x 3 1/2" tall x 1" inkwell 

Beautiful condition. Old natural reddish bronze patina with appropriate wear especially to the top of one dog's head as though petted and stroked. 

Does not have a porcelain inkwell insert, but if wanted, these can easily be found. 

A heavy piece, this will be well protected for its journey.
