Antique Victorian oak desk standish, fitted with two heavy cut-glass inkwells and a carrying loop handle. Features two pen-rest wells and a single drawer. Good used condition with light marks and wear consistent with age; the glass bottles show some tiny nibble. Measurements: 11″ wide × 7″ deep × 3.5″ high (not including bottles).
Condition notes
Oak case sound and structurally stable.
Surface shows light scuffs and patina expected from regular use.
Cut-glass inkwells intact aside from small nibble chips to the glass rims — these are minor and pictured.
Drawer operates smoothly.
A compact, characterful Victorian accessory that would suit a period writing desk or display in a study. Ideal for collectors or those seeking an authentic finishing touch to antique furniture.
