Description:
This is a fine quality antique English Victorian oak folding campaign-writing table, circa 1890, in good working condition, made to be taken on campaign due to its compact size and ability to be carried easily and folded away when not in use.
The case features the original working lock & key. To open the writing table, the key must be pushed in and then turned. The case can then be folded out until it locks into place. When the table is sitting horizontally, the metal ball locks are fixed in position to stop the table collapsing inwards. With the case open, this reveals a faux crocodile skin lined interior and writing surface.
Condition Report:
This writing table is in good working condition. The internal faux crocodile skin skiver is in excellent condition, having been newly fitted. Therefore, there are no stains, rips or marks to the writing surface. The interior retains all its original components, with no missing or damaged pieces. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the oak exterior but nothing significant, considering the age of the item.
