A good example of a Victorian brass mounted Antler desk set. It has a large glass inkwell with brass hinged lid set in a brass stand with antler handle. There are two matching candlesticks and a large letter opener, the blade of which is engraved "A.J.J. May 22nd 1898".
It is an excellent quality and well made set and it is in good condition for its age. The glass inkwell is in good condition with no major damages and the brass parts have been lightly cleaned and polished to retain their natural aged patina. There are some signs of age and use, some minor dinks and dents and a couple of small screws have been replaced at some point but nothing detrimental or untoward and it displays well.
