A beautiful double inkwell desk set by Parsons Brothers for Tessier of London. This silver and glass set features two square cut glass inkwells, atop a beautiful ornate silver desk tray. The tray features serpent scroll handles and wells for two pens. Four feet with a scroll design on each side are underneath. The glass inkwells are removable and are topped with round silver caps with rope detail that open and close. Throughout the piece are numerous silver markings which helped us date and identify the piece.

The bottom of the tray is marked with “Tessiers Ltd, London”
A shield with the letters APFP
A rectangular stamp with a lion facing to the left
A square with a Tiger Head
A Square with a capital A (A refers to the year of certification which we believe to be 1849)
A small hand engraving with 48/6, N/W/X/- (Many times when a silver piece was cleaned or worked on, it was signed by the craftsman who performed the cleaning. It is believed that this is what the hand engraving is referring to.)
