As utilitarian as they are decorative, inkwells, as we know them, first appeared in the 17th century. Whether ceramic, wood, or glass, round, square or heart-shaped, the inkwell is characterized by a certain refinement

In the 18th century, the feathers used were generally goose feathers.

It was not until the 19th century that metal feathers gradually replaced the bird feathers used since the end of Antiquity.

The sand box, a small container pierced and filled with powder or sand, was used to sprinkle the sheet to dry the ink.

Inkwells being utilitarian objects present on any desk, it is not uncommon for their decoration, their ornamentation and their shapes to be subject to all sorts of fantasies in relation to their holder.

Collectors of inkwells are called ATRAMANTHOPHILES.
From Latin atramentum (“ink”) and Ancient Greek philos (“attraction, love”).
