About the Item

925 sterling silver inkwell in the shape of a cathedral. The tray plate has been completely hand-hammered from a raw 925 silver plate. The inkwell is raised from the support surface by 4 round feet.

The ink holders have removable glass inside, are cylindrical and are embellished with a beaded border equal to that of the tray but slightly smaller. The lids are hinged. The central bell is of a classic shape with torchon workmanship. Made entirely by hand in the second half of the 20th century in the ARVAL ARGENTI silversmith's workshop
