Umbrella Inkstand - Pontiled
Item #: 310054
- Authentic shipwreck artifacts from the SS Republic Shipwreck, archaeologically recovered after more than 138 years at the bottom of the Atlantic!
- The umbrella inkstand with decorative fluted panels, also called a "paneled pyramid" was designed to capture the consumer's eye.
- Inkstands remained on a writing table or desk, so their visual appeal was especially important.
- When placed in the light, the aquamarine samples, some with hues of green, can display the colors of the rainbow, refracting the sunlight - the result of long exposure to the ocean's saltwater.
- Most of the umbrella inkstands found among the wreckage were eight-paneled versions in shades of aquamarine though a handful of those recovered were of an uncommon larger version with eight or twelve panels.
