Antique desk inkwell set featuring two square cut glass ink bottles fitted with decorative metal lids, mounted on an ornate metal tray base. The stand includes a central handle supported by decorative uprights, allowing the set to be easily carried. Such double inkwell sets were commonly used on writing desks in the late 19th to early 20th century before the widespread adoption of fountain pens. The combination of cut glass and decorative metalwork gives the piece both functional and decorative appeal.
