A rare set of five vintage handcrafted brass inkpots, each beautifully formed in a unique peacock-inspired shape. These inkpots date back approximately 60–70 years and showcase traditional Indian metalworking with sculptural detailing and a naturally developed patina.
Each piece is crafted from solid brass, with stylized peacock forms that reflect India’s long association of the peacock with knowledge, creativity, and refinement. Originally used as ink holders on writing desks, these now make exceptional decorative collectibles or statement pieces for study rooms, libraries, and curio displays.
Finding a matched set of five in this form is uncommon, making this a strong collector’s piece.
