The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Art Deco inkstands from the 1930s are characterised by clean geometric forms, sleek surfaces, and streamlined metal fittings. They often incorporate contrasting materials such as thick glass, polished brass, and dark bakelite or black glass bases.

Historically, inkstands were crafted using durable non-porous materials such as brass, bronze, heavy moulded glass, marble, and bakelite to protect surfaces from ink corrosion. Glass inserts were typically cut into square blocks with metal or brass lids.

Authentic 1930s pieces usually display age-consistent oxidation on brass components, hand-finished edges on glass reservoirs, and period-appropriate joining techniques rather than modern screws or synthetic adhesives.

An antique inkstand functions well as a decorative focal point placed on an executive office desk, console table, or bookshelf. It pairs effectively with modern stationery, leather desk pads, and brass lighting fixtures.

Clean the glass reservoirs using warm water and mild non-abrasive soap, ensuring components are completely dry before reassembly. For brass elements, dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth to preserve the natural surface patina without using abrasive polish.
