French Vintage Marble Brass Ink Well

Inkwells are containers used to hold ink, mainly used with quills and dipping pens, and were widely used before the 20th century, and the old antique desks and desk sets had built-in inkwells. The inkwell found this time is made of dark green marble and gilded bronze, and is part of the Object Vitrine desk series. In addition to the bronze ink well in the middle, there are carved grooves on all four sides to place pens, quills and dipping pens. Many people who practice Western calligraphy use quill pens and dipping pens, and they need to dip the tip of the pen into ink repeatedly while writing, so the ink well is a must-have tool and table view. There are two benefits to using quills and dipping pens, you can easily switch between the widths of the various nibs, and you can change the ink colour at will, as you only need to rinse the nib to dip in the new colour. If you like to write, you can also try to use quill pens and dipping pens to regain the temperature of writing.
