Antique 19th Century Folk Art Inkwell

Antique 19th century inkwell

This unusual inkwell dates back to the 1800s and was skillfully crafted from genuine roe deer antlers and wild boar tusks. A fine example of 19th century folk art, it reflects both creativity and craftsmanship of the period.

It would make a striking decorative piece on a desk or a fascinating addition to any cabinet of curiosities.

After more than a century, the inkwell is in used condition. Some parts of the boar tusks broke off over time and were later glued back on, though small pieces remain missing. The surface has developed a beautiful patina through age and use, enhancing its character and antique charm.
