Before the invention of the fountain pen, all correspondence would be done using a dip pen and ink. Inkwells came in all shapes and sizes and for all pockets, from the humble stone bottle to the wonderfully ornate bronze and silver inkwells.
 
This is a wooden desk ink stand containing 3 ink wells, 'Black, Red and Copying' in seperate compartments with sliding lids. There is also a top compartment for dip pens.
 
In good condition
