Vintage Wooden Desk Organiser / Inkstand Style Desk Tidy with Brass Handle
Price: £45
A handsome vintage wooden desk organiser in the traditional inkstand style, beautifully crafted in dark-stained hardwood and fitted with elegant brass details. Compact yet practical, this piece brings timeless character to any desk, study, or home office.
The raised top features four square compartments, originally designed for ink bottles or small desk essentials, while the lower section houses a full-width drawer—perfect for storing stationery, seals, nibs, or modern office items. A decorative brass carry handle adds both function and a classic period touch, making it easy to reposition or display.
Likely dating from the early to mid-20th century, this organiser reflects the enduring appeal of traditional craftsmanship and the romance of a more considered writing age.
