FAUX BOOK INKSTAND

Late 19th Century French ink Standish concealed within a pair of faux books.
Lovely novelty piece with its original glass and brass topped inkwells.
In very presentable antique condition, a little scuffing here and there and the top cover a little stained, nothing dramatic, and a charming survivor.
Measurements below are when books are unopened as in main image.
Width 22cm. Depth 14.5cm. Height 6cm
