In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the 1900s.
The doors opens out to reveal a series of racks for holding papers and letters. Above this is a perpetual calendar with paper days, numbers and months. There is also a pen tray and a glass inkwell and below this there is a large drawer that pulls out. One door holds a writing slab and the other has two brass fingers for holding back papers.
It is a particularly large example and excellent quality.
It is in good condition and although it has been used it has been well looked after over the years. There are a few small knocks and marks around the outside, general signs of age and use but nothing detrimental. There have been a few small repairs here and there and a small slither of wood has been added to the edge of the door to ensure they close tightly. The paper 'Sunday' day card has been re-written on the back of Saturday as presumably it was lost at some point. We do not have a key. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
