FAQs

Developed in the mid-19th century, electroplated inkwells utilised electricity to deposit a fine coating of pure silver onto base metals such as nickel silver or copper. This manufacturing technique allowed detailed desk accessories and inkstands to become widely accessible during the Victorian era.

These items typically feature a base metal core, such as nickel silver or brass, cast or stamped with relief motifs and then electroplated in a silver solution. A removable glass reservoir was frequently fitted inside the central metal pot to prevent ink from corroding the metal.

Authentic pieces usually carry manufacturer makers marks or stamps such as EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver) on the underside or base rim. Signs of light wear where the base metal subtly shows through on high points also assist in identifying period items.

An antique silver inkstand serves as a functional accent on an office desk, console table, or bookshelf within a study. Pairing the object alongside leather-bound books, brass desk implements, or contemporary stationery creates a classic, layered display.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and polish infrequently using a specialized non-abrasive silver cloth to maintain the fine surface layer. Avoid harsh chemical polishes, submersion in water, or abrasive pads, which can strip away the silver plating.
