Description

A handsome silver inkwell from the reign of George V, with an interesting connection to Stockport Golf Club. This superb piece is of squared form with panelled sides, chamfered corners and extended base with deep lip to the front for a pen or quill. Standing on four shaped feet it features Stockport Golf Club Coat of Arms engraved to the front and is dated '1930'. The lid is hinged and opens to reveal a gilded reservoir with clear glass liner to the inside.

Stockport Golf Club was founded in 1905. The present 18-hole course, primarily designed by Sandy Herd (the 1902 Open Champion) and lies in rural woodland close to the Derbyshire/ Cheshire border. The Latin motto of ‘mens aequa in arduis' translates as a ‘stable mind in adversity’.
