About the Item

Pair Antique Victorian Edwardian Clear Cut Crystal Gold Gilt Metal Inkwell Continental Crystal, metal c. 1900 Dimensions: H x W x D: 8cm x 7.5cm x 6cm Dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, this refined pair of inkwells exemplifies the elegance and thoughtful design of the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Both eras placed great importance on craftsmanship, ornamentation, and the use of high-quality materials, reflecting the social status and refined tastes of the time. While Victorian design is often characterised by richer ornament and heavier forms, Edwardian design moved toward lighter proportions and understated elegance. Despite these differences, both styles shared a strong appreciation for decorative detail, historical influence, and harmonious aesthetics. Each inkwell is crafted from clear crystal, with cuboid bodies that are largely left plain to highlight the purity and clarity of the material. Visual interest is concentrated at the base, where a striking star-cut panel adorns each piece. This intricate cut is visible from all angles and is particularly captivating when viewed from the side, as it would appear while dipping a pen into the ink. Completing each inkwell is a round gilt metal top with a hinged lid, adding both practicality and a subtle decorative contrast. This fine pair of antique inkwells would make an elegant addition to a desk or a thoughtful and distinctive gift for a loved one.
