About the Item

Antique Cut Glass and Brass Crown-Top Inkwell, Early 20th Century England, circa 1900–1920 A decorative and well-crafted antique inkwell featuring a heavy moulded glass body with bold architectural form and an ornate crown-shaped hinged lid in polished brass. The glass is shaped with vertical facets and curved shoulders, creating a strong, symmetrical profile, while the lid is adorned with a stylised coronet design — likely intended to evoke a sense of formality and grandeur suited to a fine desk. The brass collar is securely fitted and the hinged lid opens smoothly to reveal the original internal aperture, which may once have housed a liner. The piece is both practical and decorative, offering a tactile and aesthetically appealing addition to a period writing desk, study, or collector’s cabinet. Dimensions: Height: 7 cm Base: 5.5 cm x 5.5 cm Condition: In good antique condition with minor wear consistent with age and use. The glass is free from cracks, with small nibbles and surface abrasions visible under close inspection, chiefly to high points and the base. The brass lid is slightly patinated with signs of historic use but remains functional and secure. The inkwell presents well overall and displays handsomely.
