A door opens into a cathedral of books. Walls made of pages, silence made of stories. And in that stillness, a single gust stirs the forgotten. One book falls.

Antique Inkwell Glass Cast Iron Pen Holder Hinged Lid Greek Key Design Late 1800s Era Tatum or Eastlake Calligraphy Gift

For just $125.00 This is an amazing antique glass inkwell in cast iron. Hinged cast iron lid has a Greek Key design. The Pen Holder Arms swivel. The glass is very thick and very heavy. The glass inkwell does not appear to be removable from the cast iron base. I could find no makers mark but I believe this to be made by either TATUM or EASTLAKE. Condition is good with the exception of the hinge on the lid is broke on one side. Please see pictures. Priced accordingly. The inkwell weighs 1 pound 5 ounces! Measures: 3" tall x appx 2 1/2" squarish. The inside well is appx. 1 1/2" deep/ That gives you an idea of how thick this glass is! Spectacular early antique! *IMPORTANT* Please see all pictures as they are a part of the description. Please read all measurements as the pictures can be deceiving in relation to size. Rocks, fake fruit, candles, books, shells or any other photo props are not included.
