It still brings a touch of that slower ritual to a writing table today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inkwell stands on three small cast feet decorated with leaves. Its round tray is framed by a band of laurel and set with a red top in a marble effect. A footed ink cup with a rope-twist band and a hinged lid sits at one side. Two small forked pen rests stand on the tray beside it. The writer laid a dip pen across these little forks between dips, so the wet nib never touched the desk or the paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inkwell is in good vintage condition, with an old patina to the metal and light marks from use on the tray and the cup. It's a small piece of desk history that will sit happily on a writing table for many more years. Place it on a desk, a bureau or a bookshelf, or add it to a collection of writing accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePen-rest inkwell: a vintage Louis XVI style brass-tone desk inkwell with a red marble-effect tray, a hinged ink cup, two pen rests and three leafy feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Ø 11 cm (4.3 in) · H 10 cm (3.9 in) · about the size of a large coffee mug\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: brass-tone metal, red marble-effect top\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Louis XVI style · early 20th century\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 480 g (1.1 lb)\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide · we handle the paperwork and pay all import duties · nothing to settle on delivery\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good vintage condition · old patina, light marks from use on the tray and the cup\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days\u003cbr\u003e\nSold as: the inkwell only; pens and ink not included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59757545292121,"sku":"LM-V-406","price":396.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8685315315_6l32.jpg?v=1791369556","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/antique-louis-xvi-style-inkwell-red-76205","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
