The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Victorian coromandel writing box, or writing slope, is a portable wooden case created during the nineteenth century to store writing implements and open into an angled surface for correspondence.

These boxes were constructed using timber veneers such as coromandel, walnut, or mahogany, often featuring brass hinges, mother-of-pearl inlays, and interior velvet or leather writing surfaces.

Authentic Victorian writing boxes feature hand-cut dovetail joints, period locks with brass escutcheons, natural timber age oxidation, and fitted interior compartments.

An antique writing box can be placed as a decorative tabletop object on a console table, office desk, or bookshelf to add historical texture and offer concealed storage.

To preserve timber veneers and inlays, position the box away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and clean gently using a soft microfibre cloth and specialised beeswax polish.
