This exquisite European inkwell is crafted in 833-grade silver, beautifully shaped in an ornate Rococo revival style with sweeping curves, scrollwork, and deeply chased floral motifs throughout.

The expansive tray offers ample surface area and features a beautifully scalloped edge, supported by four scroll-form feet.
