Well-fitted and "Complicated" Stationery Cabinet

19th century
Description

An unusual and very good quality Victorian solid mahogany STATIONERY BOX in excellent condition.

This is a "complicated" box with many features which include: a "pop-up" perennial adjustable calendar at the top; fitted compartments for stationery; ceramic tablet for note-taking; ink bottle; pen-and-ink compartment and lockable drawer to the base.

What makes this unusual is that there is a "Book Press" incorporated into the rear ~ almost certainly used to press flowers and leaves in scrapbooks that were all the rage in Victorian times. If one looks to the back of this superb box, you will see a large brass handle, which tightens the press. Not seen one like this ever before...

Declaration

Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 1870s.
