Item description
Refined and graceful silver plated inkwell that has a balanced and harmonious shape. On the top are housed two solid and faceted crystal bottles with hinged lids. It was made in a silverware workshop in England during the Victorian period between 1870 and 1875. The craftsman has adorned it with a striking and refined border interspersed with shell motifs and feet claw and ball, all in perfect Queen Anne style: a style marked by the extreme simplicity of forms from the graceful wavy line and characterized in ornamentation by the widespread use of the shell motif, another decorative element characteristic of that period was the foot (the representation of the claw holding a sphere has oriental origins, probably Chinese and represents the claw of a dragon holding a pearl). The inkwell is perfect in all its parts, has only one repair of the time in the lower part (see photo), often these inkwells were equipped with a curved element fixed to the center of the border where you put a finger to move them, evidently, in this inkwell this support must be broken and the owner did not replace it but has limited himself to make only a repair below the tray.
