Lovely Large 19th Century Solid Mahogany Writing Slope with Secret Drawer, Inkwells and Original Key.

19th century
Description

19th century large lovely solid mahogany writing slope having two brass side carry handles, a full length secret drawer to the side, original key, plus two brass topped locking inkwells and removable pen rest.

The secret drawer can only be opened by first removing the original pin closure on the inside.

The writing surface is a beautiful dark green velvet, and both halves hinge up to reveal storage underneath. The original brass stand hinges up on the side in three different positions to hold the slope open at an angle when only the pen rest and ink wells need to be reached.

Size closed-20 inches long by 9.75 inches deep by 6 inches high.

This is a lovely complete writing box for the collector, or a great decorative piece to use in any room.

With lovely colour and patination, it is all in very good condition.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.
