Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1860s.

The blotter sits on four Mother of Pearl feet, there are feet too to the front so when the blotter is open, the painted front doesn't get damaged.
The interior is completely original, with the interior having a lavishly gold embossed plate with the days of the week. There are several pages of original blotting paper and a portfolio at the back with three compartments labelled "Answered Letters / Unanswered Letters / Various Notes".
Superb condition measuring 9 1/4" wide x 12 3/4" tall while closed.
