Interesting design on this antique solid brass swing-arm candle holder inkwell with cut glass bottle. Measures 7" high x 8" across, candle arms swing forward and back. Lovely cut glass inkwell itself has sturdy hinge, is in overall very good to excellent condition other than tarnish. We did not attempt to polish any of the brass; some polish residue on the back hinges as shown in photos. Graduated "picket" sticks are removable; one is missing it's tip and there are 2 empty holes. Holder for quill or pen in front. Lovely piece. Please see photos for all the details. One of several desk sets we are offering from the home of an avid collector.

I entrusted my mother and father's (Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz) memorabilia to Connectibles, and during the entire evaluation and auction process, never for a moment did I feel anything less than completely confident, protected and guided by experienced and compassionate professionals who love what they do. We got wonderful results and the best part... it was great fun!"
