Inkwell 1738 - 1750

"Inkwell" is a silver inkwell created by Abraham Drentwett IV between 1738 and 1750. This small, intricately detailed piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, features a decorative design of swirling floral motifs, showcasing the skill and artistry of Dutch silversmithing during the 18th century. The inkwell's elegant form and craftsmanship make it a prized example of decorative arts from this period.
