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 antique ormolu desk set, or inkstand, is a desktop writing accessory produced during the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring gilt-bronze mounts, inkwells, and central decorative motifs mounted upon a wooden base.

19th-century inkstands were typically crafted using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, integrated with cast gilt-bronze, brass elements, and glass reservoir inserts.

Authentic period pieces display hand-chased metalwork, precise casting, original mercurial gilding with localized oxidisation, threaded assembly pins beneath the base, and natural age patina on wood surfaces.

Position the inkstand on a dark wood executive desk, a library console, or a study bookshelf alongside bound volumes and brass lighting to create an authentic focal area.

Clean metal mounts using a dry, soft cloth without abrasive polishes that strip gilding, and maintain the wood base with periodic applications of clear beeswax polish.
