The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

An inkstand is a desktop tray or stand designed to hold inkwells, pens, and associated writing instruments, commonly crafted in solid silver or electroplate during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to serve as both functional equipment and decorative status symbols.

Victorian desk sets were predominantly constructed from solid sterling silver or silver electroplate (EPNS), frequently incorporating hand-cut glass bottles for ink storage alongside detailed pierced or chased metalwork on the supporting tray.

Authentic Elkington pieces feature distinct manufacturer marks stamped on the metalwork, typically including Elkington & Co, specific date letters, or structural symbols such as crowned shields and numerical codes indicating electroplating quality.

Place the inkstand on an executive office desk, console table, or library bookshelf to add metallic texture and historical interest alongside contemporary stationery or leather-bound volumes.

Clean the metal tray using a soft cotton cloth with specialised non-abrasive silver polish to avoid wearing down the electroplated layer, while washing glass inserts gently in lukewarm soapy water.
