About the Item

Cartier 'Must de Cartier' Crystal and Silverplate Melon Inkwell France, Circa 1989 Dimensions: 3.25" diameter x 2.75" high A refined and elegantly crafted melon-form inkwell from the Must de Cartier collection, dating to circa 1989. This luxurious desk accessory exemplifies the timeless design and meticulous craftsmanship for which Cartier is renowned. The body is executed in clear, fluted crystal, signed "Made in France" on the base, and topped with a sleek, hinged silverplate lid. The lid opens to reveal a gilt-lined interior reservoir, and is fully hallmarked and engraved “Cartier” on the inner face—attesting to its authenticity and Parisian origin. The rounded form and minimal ornamentation allow the interplay of light through the crystal to shine, while the metallic accents lend a clean, modernist elegance. Equally suited for use or display, this inkwell embodies the discreet luxury and impeccable taste associated with late 20th-century Cartier design. A rare and collectible writing accessory, perfect for connoisseurs of fine desk objects and the heritage of French luxury.
