Victorian ships inkwell with original fitted ink pots c1900
This is an unusual inkwell that originally would have sat on an officer's desk on a ship. It is made from oak wood with brass fittings and decoration, to include a carrying handle and four feet. Two square recesses contain the original inkpots which have remarkably survived intact. There is also a long narrow channel to hold a pen. Both were intended to ensure stability if the waters grew choppy! Decorative in itself, this piece perhaps provides the ultimate gift for the office even if it is unlikely to find itself in daily use.| Size: | 29cm x 17cm |
| Weight: | na |
| Date: | 1900 |
| Condition: | Good condition generally; the leather covering of the base with losses in some places (see image 7) |
| Estimate: | £40 – 60 |
