Brass Bound Camphorwood Campaign Writing Slope C1850

19th century
Description

This super, LARGE BRASS BOUND CAMPHORWOOD CAMPAIGN WRITING SLOPE dates from circa 1850.

With tambour and rise-and-fall action, this is a lovely example of a Campaign Writing Slope. The handles, hinges and name plate are all original and even the tambour has been given an ebonised and camphor contrast. The name plate is engraved 'John Pile'.

The tambour is activated by pulling the front drawer forward which also allows the writing slope to be unfolded.

The stationery compartment is made to rise-and-fall by pressing the sprung battens at either end.

The camphorwood is a good, rich colour and patination.

Height (when closed) 8.75 inches (22.5 cm)

Width: 20.5 inches (52 cm)

Depth: 14.75 inches (37 cm)

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
