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

Named for its resemblance to a ships nautical capstan winch, a capstan inkwell features a wide, flared circular base tapering upwards to a hinged lid, a design that became widely popular during the Edwardian era.

These inkwells were predominantly fashioned from sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver, often featuring a weighted lead or resin base for stability and a removable glass liner inside to hold ink.

Authentic British silver pieces feature stamped hallmarks denoting the purity mark, assay office symbol, date letter, and makers mark, typically situated on the base rim or lid.

Placed on a writing desk, library shelf, or console table, a silver capstan inkwell serves as a refined functional or decorative paperweight and desk accessory.

Gently polish the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals, immersion in water near non-silver weighted bases, or abrasives that could wear down hallmarks.
