Fabergé Silver and Cut Glass Inkwell

This exquisite inkwell by the legendary Fabergé exudes a bygone luxury. Comprised of intricately cut glass in a star pattern, the inkwell rests upon a silver base cast with dramatic masks among foliate festoons and ribbons. Its refined, neoclassical design is completed by a silver lid with a finial in the form of a laurel wreath.

Fine silver from the House of Fabergé is indeed difficult to acquire, since most of the firm’s works, including the court and presentation pieces created for the Czar, were melted down to mint silver ingots and rubles during the political unrest that plagued Russia during the Revolution. Presented in its original fitted Fabergé oak case.

Lid interior marked with the Fabergé stamp in Cyrillic and Imperial warrant, 84 standard. Inventory numbers 31225 and 38391.
