FAQs

The George V era spans from 1910 to 1936, characterised by a blend of traditional styles such as Edwardian elegance and early Art Deco influences, often featuring clean lines alongside classic ornamentation.

These items were typically fabricated from sterling silver, frequently featuring weighted bases filled with materials like plaster or wood, and fitted with internal glass ink inserts.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, indicating the assay office, date letter, makers mark, and the standard of silver, usually the lion passant for sterling.

Placed upon an executive desk, a bookshelf, or a mantelpiece, an antique silver inkwell adds a touch of historical sophistication and metallic contrast to contemporary workspaces.

Regular, gentle dusting and occasional polishing with a specialised silver cloth prevent tarnish build-up, while avoiding abrasive cleaners protects the soft metal and any hallmarks.
