19th Century Neoclassical Silver-Plated Globe Inkwell

Offered by: MA+39

Description
A rare and decorative 19th-century inkwell crafted in the form of a miniature armillary sphere or globe, made from silver-plated metal. This elegant piece features a hemispherical lid that lifts open to reveal a fitted interior containing original writing tools, including an ink pot, sander, and scraper. The domed form rests on a neoclassical pedestal with fluted details and a circular base, combining refined craftsmanship with sculptural presence. Likely designed for a gentleman’s desk or library, it reflects both the intellectual curiosity and aesthetic taste of the era. A superb example of Victorian-era desk accessories, marrying scientific symbolism with the functional artistry of 19th-century Europe. A collectible object of timeless charm.
