A remarkable modernist Cymric silver inkwell by Archibald Knox for Liberty & Co. Incredibly this design dates to 1900, the end of the Victorian period. The slits in the silver, possibly representing stylized waves of the sea, also remind you of the avant garde canvases created by Lucio Fontana some 50 years after Knox’s work.
This model 500/31 appears in Dr Stephen Martin’s book “Archibald Knox” page 223.
