These wonderful old items from c.1820-50 boutiques flanking the promenade of the garden of the old Palais Royal of Paris are always a special treat to find and offer. This elegant little gem of an inkwell and desk & pen stand is one such, and the Sevres or Celeste or French blue opaline is always a favorite. The set is a fine quality ormolu framework mounted on a plinth or base of alabaster, and the tray is a half shell of fine old mother of pearl shell. Just a note: the pen we show in our images is not included, but is one we keep as a prop only, adding ambiance and also referential size for our viewers. Selling only the desk stand with inkwell and mother of pearl tray. Very good to excellent condition througout, with the original lid still attached to its chain and therefore not so prone to loss as were most of these. Rare to find one that remains complete, undamaged. The blue opaline is of fine quality and has no chips nor cracks, no loss at all. The same for the mother of pearl shell, which has no chips nor cracks, and retains its high pearlescent shimmer. The addition of the blue opaline beads in centers of flowers is something we see in the early half of 1800s and not usually later than 1830. Measurements are noted directly on our photos.Our photos are large and clear. We do expect our customers to review them all, evaluate the item based on both our description and our images. Thanks for all the compliments - we love what we do! Antiques & Uncommon Treasure - all the best, all the time!

Return Policy:
We always honor a 3-day return on our items, and guarantee them to be as described. Money back, less shipping costs, which are not refundable, so ask questions if necessary. We\'re easy to deal with.

Shipping and Handling Policy:

You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you\'re thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.

We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. is now requiring that our clients rank us on \"shipping\". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we\'ll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.

Insurance has been eliminated as an option by , forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replacable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!

Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is recieved (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
