Stunning presentation!I feel like this piece was shipped not only through space but through time. It arrived with the outer box wrapped in muslin that was hand-stitched together and sealed with red wax. Talk about a way to present a genuine antique! The unwrapping was almost as much of a thrill as the item itself-a beautiful wood and etched-brass ink blotter exactly as shown and described. This seller left quite an impression!

What I DiscoveredMy purchase experience was not at all what I expected. The photo and description of the DAHL, showed a used, slightly damaged piece, indicating age use, and even a modicum of history. The DAHL I received appears to be brand new, very well made, excellent quality, but not what I expected. After all, "History Collections" is the name of the source. There was also a minor shipping/site problem, I contacted the dealer to cancel the order, only if I could not get the problem resolved, and he threatened to blackball me on E-Bay. Though I understand how he felt, it wasn't very courteous. Since I am relatively new to E-Bay, I honored my bid and resolved the problem, buying the DAHL. I don't think I would buy from this source again.
