This inkstand is crafted from mahogany and features a classic Edwardian design, dating to around 1902. It holds two glass inkwells with faceted designs and brass mounts, positioned symmetrically on the top tier. In front of the inkwells lies a pen channel for resting writing instruments. Below this tier is a pull-out drawer with a brass knob, providing storage space for writing supplies. The entire structure rests on wooden bun feet. The turned wooden columns at each corner of the back tier complete the piece.
