This is an awesome early 19th century pewter inkwell or inkstand completely hand made. It dates from the first half of the 19th century. It has great style very simple yet elegant. It has a very deep well front for the quill or dip pens. There are two inkwells each one having a blown mold glass well inside and both are a little different. The center compartment lifts to expose three sections for storing stamps and inkbottles. Did you notice the holes around the inkwells? I'm not sure about this, but I think they are for standing the writing instrument in to drain off excess ink. A great early pewter piece, no maker?s mark found. Nice rich patina on the surface and great little bun feet. It measures 9" long x 3" high x 4" Deep.

Striving For Excellence
It isnt brilliance or just getting the breaks,
It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
