Its peculiarity lies in having three distinct ink compartments, often used for inks of different colors or for various types of ink. Antique triple inkstands can be made from a variety of materials, including bronze, silver, ceramic, glass, wood, or stone. They often feature elaborate decorations, such as inlays, engravings, or enamels. The shape varies depending on the historical period and style. They can be rectangular, oval, or circular, with three compartments arranged in a line or a triangle. Some models feature a pen holder or other writing accessories. Antique triple inkstands date mainly to the 18th and 19th centuries, when handwriting was the norm. Each historical period has its distinctive style, with influences ranging from Baroque to Neoclassical.
