About the Item

Cut Crystal Inkwell with Hinged Silver-Plated Lid England or France Cut crystal, silver-plated metal Late 19th century Dimensions: H × W × D: 7 × 5 × 5 cm Description: A compact inkwell of clear, solid crystal with faceted sides and a finely cut star motif on the underside. The interior cavity is smoothly ground with a cylindrical ink chamber, while the exterior geometry creates a play of light through the glass. The hinged, domed lid of silver-plated metal forms a soft contrast to the sharp, precise contours of the crystal body. Its balanced proportions and craftsmanship give this desk accessory both utility and refined elegance. Remarks: This inkwell reflects a period when desk objects were valued not only for their function but also for their aesthetic quality. The clear crystal and highly polished metal surface embody a restrained yet luxurious design language characteristic of late 19th-century writing implements. Condition: Good condition. Minor traces of use and light wear to the plating on the lid. Crystal with crisp edges and a well-preserved cut pattern.
