Peter Reynaers

This bronze stylus measures 13.6 cm. The object is in excellent condition. The stylus is very nicely decorated. The photos do not do justice to the beauty of this rare object. Such objects were used to write a text in a layer of wax. The spatula was used to make the wax flat again after reading. Beautiful styli do not often find their way to the market. This object was found in France. It has been part of a private collection since the early 80s 

This lot has been legally acquired. For shipment between countries in the EU no export permit is required. The seller shall inform the buyer if obtaining the proper permits and the shipment of the lot takes more than a few days.
