In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
It also comes with a working key. It is stamped on the inside "Asprey, 166 Bond St".
The box has a good quality green leather writing surface with a gilt tooled border. It comes with a pair of brass topped glass inkwells and its original pen tray. Both top and bottom sections of the writing surface lift up to reveal extra storage space below. There is also a secret hidden drawer which springs out below the pen tray when the piece of wood beside it is lifted.
The box is in very good condition for its age with a beautiful patina. There are some general signs of age and use, some minor knocks and marks and some old shrinkage splits but nothing untoward or detrimental and the interior is clean and tidy.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
