Antique wooden ink blotter
Antique Wooden Ink Blotter – Vintage Writing Desk Accessory
Before ballpoint pens became common, letters were written slowly with ink and care. On a writing desk like that, a blotter like this was always within reach — ready to absorb the excess ink from freshly written words.
With a gentle press over the paper, the curved base would blot the ink and prevent it from smudging. It was a small but essential ritual in the art of handwritten correspondence.
This vintage wooden ink blotter still carries the quiet charm of those moments — love letters, notes, documents and postcards written by hand.
Today it makes a beautiful decorative object for a vintage office desk, writer’s workspace or study. It can also still be used as intended for fountain pen writing.
