This Victorian silver-plated desk standish sits upon bun feet, holding a rectangular stepped rim base measuring 9 cm high, 29 cm wide, and 14 cm deep. The piece holds two square cut-glass wells with hinged metal lids, a central loop handle, and acanthus scroll handles at each end. Silver plate and clear glass form the materials of the object, showing a silver colour palette. Suitable for use on an office desk, the standish provides a functional writing accessory for a traditional study or gentleman's library. The arrangement includes the tray, twin inkwells with metal lids, and the central carrying loop, designed for organizing desktop writing equipment.

FAQs

A silver plated inkstand was designed as a desktop accessory during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to hold inkwells, pens, and associated writing implements in a formal study or office setting.

Antique inkstands were commonly constructed using electroplated nickel silver or sterling silver frames, combined with heavy glass or crystal reservoirs fitted with metal lids.

Authentic nineteenth-century silver plated inkstands usually display maker marks or EPNS stamps on the underside of the base, alongside signs of hand-cut glass and traditional hinge joinery on the caps.

An antique inkstand serves as a functional paperweight or decorative accent on a modern home office desk, library shelf, or hallway console table.

Clean silver plated components gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, while glass reservoirs should be washed separately in warm, soapy water to remove residual ink.
