A gilded bronze cherub is positioned between two milk glass inkwells. The inkwells are marked “Anchor S.P. Co.” and have unattached lids. The inkstand boasts detailed enameling throughout – on the base, on the lids of the inkwells, the rose held by the cherub, and on the small frame (possibly meant to hold a picture) behind the cherub.
