Early 19th Century Stunning and Complete Rosewood and Mother of Pearl Inlaid Writing Box or Slope with Original Interior and Inkwells.

19th century
Description

Very striking early 19th century rosewood writing box or slope complete with beautiful foliate and heart mother of pearl inlay, and the original interior fittings and key. The fittings comprise two original patinated brass topped glass inkwells, pen rest and other fitted compartments. There is plenty of storage for paper when the hinged writing surface is lifted, and a notice board is also fitted underneath the surface as well.

The writing surface is aubergine velvet, with embossed edges, and still in good condition. The box bottom is lined with baize to protect the table surface. The original key is included.

This fine writing slope is in wonderful condition, with great patina, grain and colour, and is lovely to behold, as well as functional as a lap or writing desk, and to store letters and personal papers. A great box for the collector as well.

Size-Closed-13.75 inches long by 10 inches wide by 2.5 inches high in front, and 3.75 inches high in back. Open-20.25 inches.

Weight-2.5 kilos without packing.

One of the nicest examples you will ever see.

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.
