Primitive, Folk Art, Sailors Whimsy Hand Carved Inkwell Desk Stand Box.
The box features two bas relief portraits on the lid, a man and a lady facing one another. The edges of the lid and sides edges are intentionally eroded and the side panels roughed, it appears that it was the artist\'s intention to \"age\" the box.
Without question a one of a kind, hand carved inkwell box. Precise dating is difficult, pre-1920 seems a safe guess.
Condition: Original brown stain. Some rubs/scuffs/fine scratches. No cracks or noticeable chips. The hinge pins have been replaced with nails, the hinge shown in the photo has its center ring snapped off. When opened there is a musty odor. One press glass inkwell is present with a hard rubber drip guard, it is apparently missing its glass lid. No visible chips or cracks, the lines across the inner base of the inkwell are mold marks. The inkwell is stuck in its place, I was unable to remove it.
Dimensions: 8\" X 5 1/4\"X 4 1/4\". It weighs just under three pounds.
Color: The photo\'s colors are true to life.
Please take a good look at the photos as they constitute the remainder of our description.
