Silver Inkwell - John Grinsell & Sons For Smythson
A handsome top-quality inkwell made from a hefty piece of crystal, with a beautifully hand-cut base in the ever-popular hobnail design.
The collar and hinged lid is made from sterling silver by the top notch silversmith John Grinsell and Sons, made for the luxury retailer, Smythson of Bond Street, London. The hallmark is for Birmingham 1936 and the silver also marked "Made In England".
The lid lifts to reveal the removable glass ink chamber within.
Smythson of Bond Street still exists today and has long catered to the highly discerning, from European Royalty and the Indian Maharajas to the likes of Grace Kelly, Katharine Hepburn, Claudette Colbert and Vivien Leigh. Influential figures, leading extraordinary lives, from Sigmund Freud to Sir Winston Churchill.

While holding Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother’s Warrant (in existence until 2007) Smythson was one of only eight companies in the world to hold all four simultaneously.
