<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 11243929, member: 10944&quot;]I bet you could probably find someone that really loves cameos and wants to find a way to incorporate them into their decor to pay 300-400 for it. If you want to wait for that person to find it, which could take a long time. Brass inkstands without a specific niche theme, made in the 19th century, of average quality (which is usually still pretty nice) are very much not hot sellers. They look great, they are old, ornate, they seem like the kind of thing that people would want, but they don’t. Kind of like travel slope writing desks. Hard to sell. Always outliers of course.Themed examples can be a different story. So you’re in luck there. Are you the end user or is it for sale? It’s not my type of thing so can’t say how much I’d pay. If you love it then what you consider overpaying a bit isn’t the end of the world. You’ll likely never see another so now was the time to buy if you love it. I too am guilty of bidding and not really calculating just how much all those extras are going to add up to. Actually, I do it all the time. Now there’s even a fee for processing the payment though sites like liveauctioneers. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was curious and did a google. This is the only other example I found. This very much would be my thing…if I found it for like 5-10% of its asking price. <a href="https://www.robertschreuder.com/Objets-d-art/Grand-Tour-inkwell-with-lava-stone-cameos" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.robertschreuder.com/Objets-d-art/Grand-Tour-inkwell-with-lava-stone-cameos" rel="nofollow">https://www.robertschreuder.com/Objets-d-art/Grand-Tour-inkwell-with-lava-stone-cameos</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
