FAQs

A Victorian inkwell stand, historically referred to as a standish, is a desktop accessory designed to hold ink pots and dip pens, produced widely during the nineteenth century for writing and correspondence.

Victorian inkstands were frequently manufactured from cast brass, electroplated nickel silver, bronze, or sterling silver, often featuring detailed chasing or surface engraving.

Authentic Elkington pieces generally display maker stamps or hallmarks on the underside, including the Elkington name, date codes, or electroplate manufacturing marks specific to nineteenth-century production.

An antique brass inkstand can be positioned on a contemporary office desk, bookshelf, or console table to introduce contrast and a traditional accent to the space.

Dust regularly using a soft microfibre cloth, and clean gently with a suitable metal polish designed for brass or electroplate, avoiding abrasive pads that could scratch the surface or alter the patina.
