Gloria N. Greenwald Antiques & Folk Art
We have been dealing in early 18th & 19th century country antiques and folk art since 1989. The major Americana antique shows of the Northeast were a focus for many years. Having retired from the show circuit in 2006, we now concentrate on selling privately and online. We deal primarily in country smalls including painted boxes and bowls, lighting, iron and tinware, and baskets. We look for makers who understood form and function, even when handcrafting rather primitive objects. Our preference is for pieces that please the eye AND perform a function.
A 19th c. Ink Sander and Umbrella Style Ink Bottle
Offering two antique desk top accessories. The lath turned wooden sander was filled with a very fine sand and used to quickly dry ink from the quill pen. They date as early as the 18th century. This particular one has a later painted finish. The Star design indicates it is an American made piece. The blown umbrella styled ink bottle is quite rare and dates to the mid 19th century. It has its original stopper another rare addition. Both pieces are in very good condition. Sander is 3"d x 3" h. Ink bottle 2 1/2" h x 3" dia.
Price: SALE PRICE -$107.00 both pieces with Free Shipping.
