An exquisite antique inkwell crafted in solid bronze, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. This richly decorated piece features intricate pierced floral and geometric patterns in an Indo-Persian style, typical of Mughal revival craftsmanship.
The inkwell consists of a central lidded pot set on a square tray with ornate openwork borders and four sculpted feet. The domed lid is hinged and delicately perforated, echoing traditional Indian “jali” window designs. The piece shows natural patina and traces of original use, adding to its authentic charm.
