Antique Edwardian Writing Inkstand Two Inkwell Desk Tidy Companion with Drawer C1900

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique Edwardian Inkwell Desk Tidy.

A stunning period desktop companion.

We are happy to offer this excellent condition antique Edwardian (circa 1900's) Inkwell tidy ideal for any period property.

This ornate and elegant Inkstand features its original idyllic lightly faded Walnut colour, complete with contrasting ebonised edges and accents. The inkwell stand features the most intricately carved panels to the drawer front back and sides complete with raised pediment and top finials.

The rear up-stand is supported by the most beautifully cast floral polished brass brackets which flank either side of its unusual fretwork polished brass inkwell mounts. This double inkwell stand comes complete with its lovely square glass inkwells which have polished brass lids and are original to the stand. Removing the inkwells shows the word "PATENT" stamped to the centre of the inkwell mounts. This desk tidy features its front ebonised pencil grooves and a lower finely constructed stationary drawer.

We have sympathetically restored this item maintaining original patina and character by just carefully waxing this item to enhance and preserve the finish whilst giving it a natural sheen and highly polishing the brassware.

Please note this item is in very good condition for its age but will have the odd blemish here and there, as expected with an item of this age. However, we feel that these points are which adds to the charm of the item with it being an antique.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An Edwardian inkstand is a tabletop writing companion produced around 1900, designed to hold ink bottles, pens, and small stationery items.

These pieces were typically constructed from woods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak, often incorporating glass ink vessels and cast brass fittings.

Authentic pieces from this era often feature hand-finished joinery, period-correct brass mounts, cut or molded glass inkwells, and characteristic carved gallery backs.

Position the inkstand on a home office desk, library table, or hallway console as a functional or decorative accent piece alongside classic stationery.

Dust the timber structure regularly with a soft cloth and apply beeswax when required, while removing glass inkwells to wash separately in lukewarm water.
