This Mid-1800s Bronze Ink Blotter was manufactured in France and acquired in England by my great-grandfather, William J. Fetters. The name of the piece is "The Equestrian Hunter" and depicts a Hunter dressed in riding attire with a brace of Laverack Setters on a lead. It is a very heavy and substantial solid bronze piece, measuring a little over eight inches high and nine inches wide. The curved piece in front has blotter paper on the bottom and is rolled over documents written with antique dip style and fountain pens. It has been a treasured possession of the Fetters Family for generations and is in remarkable condition due to the consistent loving care it has received through the decades.
