Victorian Edwardian 1900 Desk Inkwell Box in Faux Tortoise Shell and Sterling

About the Item

Victorian Edwardian inkwell box Beautiful and very attractive inkwell, created in England during the Victorian and the Edwardian periods, back in the 1900. This is a very decorative travel-desk boxed inkwell crafted in wood and carefully embellished around, with faux tortoise shell. It is fitted with a discrete hinge and a push button to be open. The interior has one compartment to storage the glass inkwell and is fitted with a sterling silver lid. Weight: 200.9 Grams, (128.78 Dwt). Measurements: 57 mm by 57 mm by 78 mm (2.25 x 2.25 x 3.10 Inches). Hallmarks: No marks. Edwardian era, like the Georgian and Victorian eras before it, derives its name from the reign of the English King, Edward VII (1901-1910). Edwardian jewelry is known for representing femininity while incorporating a lot of the color white. Think diamonds, pearls and white metals like platinum and white gold. Diamonds often had an Old Mine or European cut and sapphires were a popular choice for a pop of color. They tended to be made from platinum and diamonds – the more, the merrier – and used fashionable, intricate techniques such as filigree and millegrain. Edwardian rings are works of art and best worn alone or alongside a simple wedding band. Millegraining, a new decorative technique made possible by the use of platinum, is featured often on Edwardian jewelry. Its border of delicate balls and ridges surrounding a gemstone or on the knife sharp edges of a design served to give jewelry a softer, lighter look. Condition: The overall condition of this box is good. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to any part. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: D010923AIRM/.1213.
