About the Item
Victorian Cast Brass Inkwell with Ornamental Scrollwork, England, circa 1880
A finely cast late Victorian brass inkwell of compact square form, English, circa 1880.
The lid and base are richly adorned with scrolling foliate and shell motifs in low relief, reflecting the decorative tastes of the period. The domed lid opens on a flush-mounted hinge to reveal the original glass ink liner, which remains present and removable. The piece retains its warm patina and character from use, with subtle wear to the high points.
Compact yet weighty, this inkwell offers both functional appeal and decorative presence for a traditional desk or collector’s cabinet.
