For the friend with better handwriting than you.
An ornate French brass inkwell for the calligrapher, prolific note-writer, or anyone keeping beautiful stationery alive.
This substantial vintage brass inkwell measures approximately 11” × 8” × 5½”, with an elaborately decorated rectangular base, twin ink compartments, and a lidded central well topped by a wonderfully unnecessary horse finial. Equal parts useful desk accessory and decorative object, it makes a particularly good gift for someone who still understands the pleasure of putting pen to paper.
In good vintage condition with the patina and surface variation expected of aged brass.
