FAQs

A Georgian brass standish, also known as an inkstand, is an 18th- or early 19th-century desk accessory designed to hold ink bottles, pens, and often a central taper candle used to melt sealing wax.

Georgian inkstands were typically cast and turned from solid brass or sterling silver, frequently paired with hand-cut clear glass inserts for holding ink.

Authentic Georgian pieces feature heavy cast brass construction, hand-scrolled handles, hand-cut glass wells, and subtle hand-tooling marks or irregularities from traditional casting methods.

Positioned on an executive office desk, library table, or decorative tray on a console, a brass inkstand introduces historical texture and period detailing to contemporary study spaces.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, polish the brass selectively to maintain its aged patina, and wash glass inserts gently in lukewarm water.
