Antique Edwardian Silver Plated Double Inkstand with Cut Glass Inkwells – Circa 1905

1900 - 1920
Description

An Antique Edwardian Silver Plated on Copper Double Inkstand with a domed hinged lid and crisp beaded edging. The interior is fitted to hold two square cut-glass inkwells, each with a silver plated collar at the neck. The form is compact and architectural, with a clean rectangular body raised on small bun feet.

A removable insert plate is included, creating two apertures that locate the inkwells securely in use. The cut glass bottles have angled sides and geometric cutting that catches the light with a subtle sparkle – circa 1905.

* It would suit a traditional study, library setting, or a contemporary desk needing a period accent. When closed, the piece reads as a neat desk box, keeping the contents protected and visually tidy.

Measurements:

Height: 2" (approx. 5cm)

Width: 6" (approx. 15cm)

Depth: 3" (approx. 7.5cm)

Total weight: 600g

In good condition – The silver plate presents well overall with only light surface wear consistent with age and careful use. There are no chips or cracks to the glass.

FAQs

Edwardian inkstands, produced between 1901 and 1910, often feature refined classical shapes, Neoclassical beadwork or gadrooning, and compact rectangular or oval silhouettes. They were manufactured to house glass ink containers and writing tools for formal correspondence desks.

Antique inkstands were constructed using base metals electroplated with silver (EPNS), sterling silver, cast brass, or mahogany, often fitted with heavy cut glass or crystal ink bottles. The combination of metal casing and cut glass provided both durability and functional weight on a desk surface.

Authentic silver-plated pieces from this period generally bear makers stamps or EPNS electroplate markings on the base or interior rim. Construction methods include soldered joints, hand-cut glass liners, and subtle age-related wear or light tarnish where silver plate meets the base metal.

An antique inkstand serves as a functional or decorative object on an office desk, console table, or library shelf. It can be paired with bound books, brass instruments, or traditional stationery items to add structure and historical texture.

Clean silver plate gently using a soft, non-abrasive cotton cloth and a mild silver polish specifically formulated for plated metals to prevent wearing down the thin layer of silver. Avoid dipping solutions and harsh chemicals, and dust glass components separately using warm soapy water.
