NOVELTY WOODEN MONKEY'S HEAD INKWELL

This  really is an unusual piece, a hand carved inkwell in the form of a finely rendered novelty monkey's / ape's head with stunning blue glass eyes which dates, I’d guess, from the late 19th. Early 20th. Century. In a finely worked portrait form of hand carved Mahogany? (I’m not 100% sure of this as it looks to have been shellacked, and I was told it was probably fruit wood when I bought it). However, the type of wood aside, it is very well carved with hinged lid and piercing powder blue glass eyes. It is marked to the base with what looks to be a punched registration mark. It measures 4 1/8" (10.5cm) H x 3 1/2" (9cm) W x 4 1/2" (11cm) D approx., and is excellent condition with is no damage at all to report, although the reservoir is no longer present - these are readily obtainable on eBay - see photographs and details. This is a unique and amusing piece of carved wood in the form of an inkwell which is in great condition that with a low start price should have good interest for all collectors.     This is a really superb superior quality period Sterling Silver travelling inkwell that’s in excellent condition and should have a great appeal to all collectors.
