$297 USD SaleSALE Large Glass Ink Well with Brass & Wood Stand
Antiques:Accessories
A fabulous ink well stand with wonderful large glass ink well. Not sure what kind of wood, but it adds to the beauty with the contrasting brass and white trim around the brass studs. The base is 8.5" by 11.5" and with the ink well stands about 6" high. The ink well seems to be stuck into the opening of the base, and I didn't want to force it, maybe by design. I have a similar one in the store and the ink well will not come out of it also. Maybe they glued them in to keep them from falling out ...

Antiques:Accessories:Metals, Kitchen
This is a fabulous large copper cooking pot with the dovetail soldering joints indicating 19th century construction. Copper pots this size are becoming so hard to find at reasonable prices. They have doubled in price over just the last two years. This one has been polished and is ready to go. The only problem I can find is an old repair on the inside of the lid where the handle is attached. Because of their large size, 18.5" in diameter and approximately 16" high, they make a dramatic statement ...
$397 USDWonderful Victorian Papier/Paper Mache Tray with Gilt Decoration

$497 USD SaleSALE French Marble Top Scales with Brass Pans and Accents
Antiques:Accessories
These are a great set of French scales of unusual construction. They sit on a wood base with the main body being metal. Then the marble top and solid brass pans. The brass "window" which shows the balance mechanisms is very ornate. They still are quite accurate . I use them to weigh items for shipping.

This is just a beautiful work of art. Although I can't find any marks, we feel confident that the silver is sterling because of the quality of the item, even the wood box that it came in with dovetail construction and brass handle. It was made especially for this piece. The four legs are in the shape of four bamboo and the leaves help secure the shell. Not sure what the original purpose of the piece was, but it is quite unusual and gorgeous. Besides the original presentation box, there is some ...

Everything on the outside, with the exception of the spout and its handle are copper. The flash made the decorative handles look ...
