This brass inkstand has an organic, free-flowing design around the base with two stylized ends (fashioned as a whale’s tail) to hold a pen. The body of the inkwell consists of four copper panels with a hammered finish resembling raindrops falling on gravel. The copper panels are held by four corner straps with rivet details. The hinged lid continues the raindrop pattern.
