Antique French Napoleon III Louis XVI Revival 8" Desk or Pen Tray, Ribbon & Laurel Garland magnifying tool the lovely floral bouquet isFine antique French, likely Baccarat, 8" desk or writer's pen tray with Empire or Louis XVI Revival style in thick cut glass and gilt bronze ribbon & laurel garland encasement! Likely originally part of a set, to include an inkwell, likely stationery stand, etc. but, as is common, we often find these as single separate pieces now. Only very rarely do we find a complete set. This one likely Baccarat glass or crystal but with no markings so impossible
