SKU: SA1001887
Availability: SoldOut

19th century

Sold by Digby Antiques (Wiltshire)

Description

This is a super quality silver inkwell Standish.

Both inkwells are fully marked around the collar, inside the lids, on the base and on the removable silver inkwell holders.

The dragooning around the inkwells, holders and tray is in super condition and real quality. Trough at front of tray for a pen.

I think the removable holders have probably been removed for cleaning at some point and due to this the inkwells sit as per photograph 3, if they were removed again and repositioned the inkwells would fit so that the lids lifted front to back. Decided against removing the holders.

Fully marked for London 1898 John Grinsell & Sons

Excellent condition throughout.

Weight of tray 10.93 ozs

Tray measures L 20 cm x W 14 cm x H 2.2 cm

Inkwells 5 x 5 cm height 6 cm
