<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 255224, member: 4654"]I found what I thought was a ebony 19th c inkwell stand but just after winning the auction I find out its made from gutta percha which is a rigid natural latex of the genus Palaquium. I suppose antiques is a subject you keep learning from even when you think you know that field <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> Anyway I come to quite like my new purchase, still 19th c, and I didn't pay that much.
