In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
The top and front of the box are burr walnut with the most stunning colour and grain. The corners and edges are bound in brass with matching brass plate escutcheon and cartouche.
Inside, the box is fitted with a green leather writing surface with a gold tooled edge. It comes with both of its original glass inkwells and a pen tray.
The box comes with its original working Bramah key and lock and additional key for locking the inside lift-up surface.
The box is in very good condition for its age with a beautiful patina and displays very nicely. The leather writing surface is showing some minor signs of age and is worn along a little the crease but still looks good inside the box and is very usable. There are some small old knocks and marks around the outside of the box and general signs of light use and age but nothing detrimental and overall it displays beautifully.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions at all please ask. UK Delivery £15.
