About the Item

A lovely Victorian mother of pearl inlaid inkwell with cut glass ink containers. It's likely rosewood or some other hard wood like macassar ebony. It is in good condition for its age although there are quite a few imperfections. The bottom of the inkwell caps have broken cork pieces. The cut glass seems ok but I may have missed some flea bites. The inlay has some minor losses and the wood has nicks and marks.
