Antique Victorian Brass Bound Writing Slope with Secret Drawers

19th century
Description

A lovely antique writing slope with brass corners, brass escutcheon and matching brass cartouche. Inside, the box is fitted with a good quality writing surface with gold tooling. There is also a removable pen tray and two glass inkwells. There is a secret compartment below the leather that springs open by lifting a piece of wood next to the inkwell, revealing 3 small secret drawers.

It is in excellent condition for its age and comes with its original working key. The brass has been lightly polished and it displays very well inside and out. There is a small chip on one corner but no other major damages to the wood exterior and the patination is beautiful. There are some small knocks and minor signs of age and use but nothing that affects the overall appearance of the box. The inkwells are not original and have some small chips but display well.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions please ask.

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.
