Robert Belcher Antiques

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online. You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner. All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company. Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Description
This highly decorative mid 19th century desk inkstand is in the form of a recumbent lioness. She is very finely detailed and is cast in solid bronze with a hand chased and gilt finish. Her head lifts and hinges back to reveal a hidden brass inkwell. The lioness is mounted onto a figured white marble base, which is raised onto four bronze ball feet. The edge of the marble is finished with a gilt bronze moulding decorated with a scrolled leaf pattern. This superb inkstand works as a standalone sculpture or as a desk piece. It is in very good condition. The marble has a few tiny, minor edge chips, which are in keeping with its age and use. French, circa 1850 Height 17.5cm x width 31cm x depth 20.5cm
