Inkwell Capstan Shaped In Antique Birmingham Hallmarked Silver.
This is a real Whopper! It is a Huge Antique Solid Silver Capstan Inkwell. The large circular base has 4 recesses around the rim for holding pens and then it has the raised circular lidded inkwell which has a blue glass liner. I would like to point out that the shiny areas in the photograph are reflections.
Assay Office: BIRMINGHAM
Date: 1909
Makers Marks: The makers marks are completely rubbed
Dimensions: 8 inches in diameter and 3.25 inches tall. It weighs 1351g (without the liner) but the base is weighted
Condition: There are numerous small dings and some slight impressions in the rim which is only to be expected on a useable metal item but certainly do not detract from this very impressive inkwell. It did have a covering to the base but this was a bit scruffy so my husband has put a red felt covering on top of this
Remarks: I cannot emphasise what a huge antique solid silver inkwell this is, which would look very impressive on any desk. I do not think that you will find a bigger one!!!! so please do not miss it
Antique and vintage silver by its very nature has been previously used. Silver is a comparatively soft metal and a combination of many years use invariably leaves its mark. I do endeavour to describe all items accurately but do not expect any antique to be in “as new condition”.
