This is an exquisite pair; a brass Antique Boulle Blotter and Notepad.


There is an exquisite combination of brass and red tortoiseshell on both exteriors. A padded underside provides cushioning for the blotter, which can be fitted by unscrewing the large brass ball handle. The notepad is lined with navy blue leather and has a small loop for holding a pencil or pen.


Often made by top London cabinetmakers such as Halstaff & Hannaford, J.C. Vickery and Leauchars, as well as Asprey, these charming English boulle desk accessories often bear the maker’s mark. It is, however, sometimes difficult to detect these marks since they are engraved into the brass and tortoiseshell, and after years of cleaning, the marks become very faint. The maker’s marks can appear on the bases too.


With every purchase from Mark Goodger Antiques, you will receive our latest catalogue, a Certificate of Authenticity, detailed care instructions for your chosen piece and an independent invoice (for insurance purposes) will be enclosed. As well as being protected by a no-hassle, money-back policy, your piece will be entirely insured during the shipping process to ensure the safety of your item.


If you are purchasing Tortoiseshell or Ivory pieces and are outside the UK you must have a CITES certificate in order to import the item into your country. We can obtain these on your behalf at a cost of £50 and these can take up to 30 working days to arrive at our office. Due to the strict exporting rules of these pieces, they may also come with further shipping costs. Please ensure you contact us prior to purchase for a quote.
