A beautiful pair of antique cut‑glass inkwells with sterling silver lids, each finished with a classic rope‑twist border. The glass bodies are crisply cut with intersecting diamond facets that catch the light beautifully, giving the pair a refined, jewel‑like presence on a writing desk.
Both lids are fully hallmarked for London, maker SWS & Co (Samuel Walton Smith & Co), with the date letter e, confirming the year 1900. The silver has a soft, elegant patina appropriate to age, and the flip‑top mechanisms open and close smoothly.
A wonderfully preserved pair — perfect for a writing desk, a fountain‑pen collection, or as a refined decorative accent.
