A superb example of 19th-century campaign furniture, this roll-top writing slope is crafted from solid camphor wood and bound in brass to all edges, combining durability with elegant design. The fall front bears a central brass plaque. Cleverly designed, the lower drawer activates the roll-top mechanism above, which glides open to reveal a pop-up compartment fitted with a bank of pigeonholes. The writing surface is lined in green baize and conceals a charming secret compartment containing two drawers. The mellow tone and rich patination of the camphor wood, developed over years of use and care, lend this piece warmth and character. In excellent antique condition, with only minor marks commensurate with age, this beautifully engineered and highly functional writing box would make a distinguished addition to any study, library, or collector’s cabinet.All measurements are done to the widest point .Please feel free to contact me with any enquiry or for more pictures .Delivery :...
