An inkstand is a container used to hold ink and other writing tools, typically found on desks or writing tables. It often consists of a small inkwell, a holder for pens or quills, and sometimes additional compartments for items like sealing wax or blotting paper. Inkstands were commonly used before the invention of modern writing instruments and were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were often made of materials like wood, glass, or metal and served as both practical and decorative items on a writing desk. Today, inkstands are mainly seen as collectibles or historical artifacts.
