18th early 19th century traveling INKWELL / QUILL HOLDER

NOTICE

********NOW OPERATING FROM OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS ********



Now fully operational from the beautiful Pacific North West, we encourage all to keep a close eye as we unpack posted offerings and continue what will be an ongoing effort of unpacking the collection while taking stock with an eye toward thinning out our accumulation of treasures. After years of seeking out and acquiring all manner of quality antique Americana from simple but seldom surviving items of special interest to historically important treasures, Janet and I look forward to offering the fruits of our years of seeking out such to new and appreciative homes.

A desirable find for sure, this early traveling inkwell with writing quill holder measures approximately 7 3/8 inches in length and was hand fashioned in copper with a lidded inkwell and attached quill carrier. Offered here untouched and completely period original with a deep natural age patina, the inkwell still holds its period filling of once ink soaked cotton. (Note that ink soaked cotton as opposed to totally fluid ink was utilized in such sets to minimize spillage in travel.) With good evidence of period construction, age and period use while remaining in pleasing condition, this rarely seen 18th early 19th century writing set will make a special addition to any quality period collection.
