FAQs

Double inkstands gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as essential desk accessories for correspondence, often featuring two separate wells for black and coloured ink.

These pieces were typically crafted using silver plating or sterling silver bases, often paired with cut or blown glass ink inserts in colours such as cobalt or electric blue.

Authentic pieces generally bear makers marks, date letters, and electroplate patent stamps associated with Elkington & Co, alongside crisp casting details and natural oxidisation.

An antique inkstand can be used as a sophisticated focal point on an office desk, console table, or bookshelf to add a layer of historical contrast to contemporary spaces.

Clean silver plate gently with a specialized non-abrasive silver polish, and wash glass inserts in warm soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
