Antique Victorian Hand-Carved Treen Boot Shaped Inkwell

A fantastically unique antique Victorian hand-carved treen boot shaped inkwell. This beautiful piece is an excellent example of craftmanship and even has little shoelaces! This piece would originally have had a glass insert for the ink, however this little shoe is beautifully decorative in it's own right or would be perfect for holding candles and matches.
