Both utilitarian and decorative, inkwells, as we know them, appeared in the 17th century. Whether they are made of ceramic, wood or glass, round, square or heart-shaped, the inkwell is characterised by a certain refinement
In the 18th century, the feathers used were generally goose feathers.
It was not until the 19th century that metal feathers gradually replaced the bird feathers used since the end of Antiquity.
The sand box, a small container with holes filled with powder or sand, was used to sprinkle the paper to dry the ink.
As inkwells are utilitarian objects found on every desk, it is not uncommon for their decoration, ornamentation and shapes to be subject to all sorts of fantasies related to their owner.
Inkwell collectors are called Atramanthophiles.
