Victorian Sterling Silver Inkstand with Detachable Candle Arms, London 1896
Victorian Sterling Silver Inkstand with Detachable Candle Arms, London 1896
A late Victorian sterling silver inkstand by William Gibson and John Langman, featuring cut glass inkwells and detachable candle arms, retailed by Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co
This Victorian sterling silver inkstand, hallmarked for London in 1896, was crafted by William Gibson and John Langman and retailed by the esteemed Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Company. The piece reflects the refined functional design typical of late 19th-century desk accessories.
The rectangular base is bordered with a rope-twist edge and raised on four scroll feet, supporting two square-cut glass inkwells with fitted silver lids. The central platform provides space for writing implements, with provision for a quill or pen.
A notable feature is the pair of detachable candle arms mounted at either end, each supporting a single candle socket. These arms extend outward in a restrained scroll form, combining practicality with decorative symmetry.
Fully hallmarked, the inkstand represents a well-executed example of Victorian desk silver, combining utility with understated ornamentation suitable for formal writing tables.
