In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
Inside, the box is fitted with a lovely deep blue writing surface with a gilt tooled edge. It comes with a removable pen tray, a stamp slope and a lidded pot. The top and bottom section of the writing surface lift up to give extra storage space below and there is also a long drawer on the side of the box which pulls out when a brass pin is lifted. There are also three small concealed secret drawers which spring open when a piece of wood is lifted.
It is in very good condition for its age and it comes with a working key. The wood has a lovely rich patina. There are signs of age and use, some marks and light knocks, minor splits but no major damages and it displays beautifully. It does not come with inkwells.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
