In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
The box is fitted with a good quality dark leather writing surface with a gilt tooled edge. It comes with a small glass inkwell and its original wooden pen tray. Both top and bottom sections of the writing surface lift up to reveal extra storage space below.
It is an excellent quality piece with a Bramah lock, although unfortunately we don't have a key. There is a retailer's label below one section for "Parkins & Gotto 24 & 25 Oxford St London".
The box is in very good condition for its age with a beautiful patina.
There is some wear along the crease of the leather and some other minor marks in the interior but nothing untoward or detrimental.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
