FAQs

Sterling silver should be gently cleaned with a non-abrasive specialist silver cloth to prevent the loss of detail, while glass components can be washed in warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly.

An antique inkstand can be used as a sophisticated accent piece on an office desk, mantelpiece, or console table, adding a layer of historical contrast to contemporary spaces.

Authentic pieces typically feature British assay office hallmarks stamped into the silver, indicating the year of manufacture, city, and makers mark, alongside period-specific craftsmanship such as hand-chased ornamentation.

Victorian inkstands were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, cut glass, or crystal, often featuring ceramic liners, brass accents, and mounted on wooden or silver bases.

Inkstands evolved during the Victorian era into elaborate centrepieces for writing desks, reflecting the high status of correspondence and literacy in middle and upper-class households.
