Late 19th Century Victorian Silver Plated and Green Glass Inkwell

About the Item

This Late 19th Century Victorian inkwell set exemplifies intricate craftsmanship and luxurious design. It features a silver-plated tray with ornate detailing, including embossed floral patterns, geometric motifs, and scrolling edges that showcase the elegance of the Victorian aesthetic. The tray has two recesses designed to hold the inkwells, each made of vibrant green glass with faceted, ridged sides, creating a jewel-like appearance. The inkwells are topped with silver-plated lids, adding a refined touch to the piece. This combination of silver plating and richly colored glass reflects the opulent design sensibilities of the late 19th century. It is both a functional writing accessory and a decorative centerpiece. It's in good condition overall with normal signs of use and age.
