Late 19th Century Inkwell In Silver And Cut Crystal, Of English Origin

Artist: Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd

This pyramidal inkwell, crafted from cut crystal with a radiating gadrooned effect, is of English origin. Its hinged silver stopper is hallmarked and signed by "Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd" London. Its pyramidal shape and the stopper's resemblance to Nefertiti's headdress suggest it belongs to the 19th-century Egyptomania movement, a trend that imbued everyday Western objects with Egyptian characteristics.
