DESCRIPTION
Schiffer “Brass Book” (pp 292 C) shows one with similar scalloped apron and said to be Spanish origin, 4th quarter, 18th cent. The difference in Spanish vs English is identified by the manner in which candle cup and handle attach to the base. Spanish examples use hand threaded plinths vs English Georgian examples which use nut fasteners. This fine and unique example has a unique configuration of ink wells, two pounce pots, and a candleholder (which is rare on early standishes).
A lavish example with exceptionally fine quality brass work. Ex personal collection of the late Bruce Knight, Springfield Ohio.
CONDITION
Very good clean condition.

Please read the entire ad carefully, especially the condition report. Buy with knowledge and don't make assumptions not in evidence.
We shoot mostly with indirect natural light to give the best approximation of "reality." But understand that "color" is a subjective thing completely dependent on quality and intensity of light. Any color can and will look completely different when viewed under incandescent vs fluorescent vs natural light. Shop carefully and try to consider how something WILL look in its intended context. As a rule lighter and brighter rugs work better in lower light situations. Darker rugs work better in brighter light. We recommend communication and personal discussion on rugs BEFORE you opt to purchase.
