This double inkstand features a winged cherub as its central figure. The cherub is depicted sitting with one leg raised, blowing a horn, and resting on stylized florals. On either side of the cherub are two clear glass inkwells with hinged lids. The glass inkwells are stemmed and fit snugly into the openings in the base. The spelter metal base has a bronze finish, is adorned with clusters of leaves, and is footed with partial tree branches.
