Description

Fine Antique Silver and Cut Glass Inkwell c.1916

A handsome and well-proportioned antique inkwell of good weight, featuring a finely cut glass body and a silver-mounted collar with hinged lid. The lid is inset with a mottled panel bordered by a delicate silver rim, lending an understated touch of refinement.

Fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1916, with maker’s mark C&N for Cohen & Nathan.

The glass body is beautifully made, with deep diamond-cut decoration to the base and lower sides, and smooth chamfered panels above creating a clear optical play of light. The hinged silver lid closes neatly and remains well fitted.

Measures 8 x 8 x 9 (height) cm

Good antique condition. Minor nibbles to the glass and light age-related wear to the silver consistent with use. Hinge and lid secure.

FAQs

Antique inkwells were essential desktop containers used to hold liquid writing ink before the invention of the fountain pen and ballpoint pen, evolving from simple horn pots into elaborate decorative objects made from silver, glass, and porcelain during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.

Traditional inkwells were crafted using a combination of heavy leaded glass or cut crystal for the reservoir to withstand corrosive iron gall ink, paired with fitted collars and lids made from sterling silver, brass, pewter, or ceramics.

Authentic period pieces can be identified by hallmarks stamped onto the metal components indicating the assay office and date, hand-cut facets on the glass body showing minor signs of base wear, and traditional manufacturing imperfections such as tiny air bubbles within the glass.

This piece can be styled as a functional desktop accent on a study table, or placed upon a stack of vintage books on a bookshelf to introduce textural interest and historical character to a contemporary interior.

Preserve the condition of the piece by dusting the glass regularly with a soft cloth and cleaning the silver components gently with a non-abrasive polish specifically formulated for precious metals, avoiding harsh chemical immersion.
