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

Popularised during the early 20th century, bell-shaped inkwells combined functional writing accessories with stylized Art Deco design aesthetics. These items were frequently created as presentation pieces or novelty desk accoutrements during the 1930s.

Most high-grade silver inkwells from this period were crafted from sterling silver or heavy silver plate, commonly featuring an internal glass reservoir to hold the ink and protect the metal from chemical corrosion.

Authentic period pieces display British hallmarks denoting metal purity, makers mark, and assay year, paired with characteristic geometric handles and streamlined bell silhouettes typical of 1920s and 1930s metalwork.

Position the item atop a dark timber desk, a console table, or stacked hardback books in a home office to serve as a metallic focal point alongside modern stationery.

Remove tarnish by polishing with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth and specialised silver cleaner, ensuring any removable glass liners are washed separately with warm water.
