About the Item

Cut Crystal Inkwell with Faceted Hinged Lid Origin: likely Central Europe Material: colorless lead crystal, brass Date: circa 1900 Dimensions: H × W × D: 11 × 11 × 11 cm Description: Hexagonal desk inkwell made of solid, colorless lead crystal with deeply faceted sides and a star-cut base. The heavy body is structured in two tiers: a stepped base with bevelled edges and a slightly recessed upper section housing the ink container. The mushroom-shaped lid, also made of faceted crystal, is fitted with a brass mount and connected to the body via a small brass hinge. Additional Information: The geometric clarity and formal discipline of this inkwell reflect design principles typical of the Historicism around 1900. The precision cutting and solid construction suggest manufacture in a specialized crystal workshop. Condition: Minor signs of use along the edges and facets. The brass mount is slightly oxidized due to age but remains intact. The hinge is functional and stable.
