A George III Silver Inkstand
by Robert Hennell, London, Circa 1800

oval and on four ball and claw cast feet, with reeded rim and wood base, with supports for the silver-mounted cut-glass bottles and with an associated silvered metal taper-candlestick, engraved with initials
22cm wide

Sold for £220
Estimated at £300 - £500


 

Part marked with maker's mark and lion passant near the base, inside one of the supports for a bottle and on each foot. The bottle mounts are apparently unmarked and may be associated. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. There are some minor dings and a bruise at one end. There are some chips to the glass bottles. The taper-candlestick is not silver and is slightly ill-fitting on the stand. Rocks slightly when placed on a flat surface.
