An exceptional, fine and impressive antique George VI English sterling silver treasury inkstand; an addition to our ornamental silverware collection
This exceptional antique George VI sterling silver treasury inkstand has a rectangular form.

This antique hallmarked silver inkstand is supported by four impressive cast silver claw and ball style feet.
The central upper plateau retains the original, impressive cast hallmarked sterling silver handle.
This antique silver treasury inkstand is fitted with two opposing hallmarked hinged covers; one cover opens to reveal three compartments and the other a large vacant storage chamber.
The two smaller internal compartments retain the original square glass ink and pounce bottles; the central segment is typically reserved for the writers pen.

The underside of the weighted base allows access to the compartment screw fitments and bears the retailer's mark 'Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company, 112 Regent Street, W'.
