19th C. Rosewood Officer’s Campaign Writing Slope on Stand – Military Portable Desk

19th C. Rosewood Officer’s Campaign Writing Slope on Stand – Military Portable Desk / Wine Table

A 19th century rosewood writing slope presented on a later stand, forming an attractive and practical occasional table. The slope is brass bound with recessed campaign style carrying handles and corner mounts, and a central brass cartouche to the lid. The rosewood displays attractive figuring and colour, complemented by the brass mounts and fittings.

Opening to reveal the traditional fitted interior with green leather writing surface decorated with a gilt tooled border, together with compartments for ink and stationery.

The stand brings the piece to a comfortable height, allowing it to function equally well as a small portable desk, occasional table, or wine table beside a chair. As illustrated in the photographs, the closed slope provides a practical surface ideal for a glass and bottle.

A decorative and versatile piece combining the character of antique campaign furniture with practical modern use.

Dimensions:

Height: 60.5 cm (23 3/4")

Width: 42.25 cm (16 5/8")

Depth: 25.25 cm (10")

Condition:

Good decorative condition overall. Structurally sound with age related marks and wear consistent with use. The leather writing surface shows signs of age and use. The lock is a little sticky but functions, and a working key has been made to operate it.

The stand is a later addition but is well matched to the slope in both timber and colour, with brass fittings that complement the piece well, providing a stable and practical base.
