Antique Brass Stag Head Double Inkwell on Ebonized Wood Stand

A striking and storied desk piece, this antique double inkwell set captures the romance of a gentleman’s study with a distinctly sporting sensibility. At its center, a finely cast brass stag rises with elegant, branching antlers—both sculptural and symbolic—anchoring the composition with quiet strength.

Flanked by two original square inkwells with beautifully timeworn patina, the piece rests on a richly toned, oval wood base with a subtle ebonized banding that frames it with intention and contrast. The balance of materials—warm brass, aged metal, and polished wood—creates a layered depth that feels both collected and enduring.

Equally suited for a desk, library shelf, or styled vignette, this piece reads as functional history turned decorative object—an heirloom that speaks to tradition, craftsmanship, and a life well written.
