This timeless monumental gilt bronze inkwell is an extremely rare example of Tiffany Studios metalwork that was produced as a standalone object — unlike the majority of the company’s inkwells which were designed to coordinate with larger desk sets.
The six-sided inkwell features a flat base and a tiered design, each level characterized by an upturned rim with delicately ruffled edges.
The glass insert is concealed by a circular lid with matching ruffled decoration and small spherical finial.
This unusual example of Tiffany Studios metalwork is stamped on the underside with firm’s mark and model number.
Diameter: 10 ¼ inches (26 cm)
