In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the 1850s.
The top section lifts up to reveal a pen tray a stamp slope and a lidded compartment. The sloped front then folds down to reveal a lovely coral coloured leather writing slope with gilt tooled edging. The top part of the writing slope lifts up to give extra storage space below and it comes with its original working key.
The box is excellent quality and in good condition for its age. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and it displays very well inside and out. There are some minor signs of age and use but no major damages. There are some minor shrinkage splits and a couple of old repairs but nothing detrimental.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
