In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
Inside, the box is fitted with a lovely deep blue writing surface with a tooled edge. It comes with a glass inkwell and a pen tray. The top and bottom section of the writing surface lift up to give extra storage space below and there is also a long drawer on the side of the box which pulls out when a brass pin is lifted. There are also two small concealed secret drawers which spring open when the brass rod is pushed inside the lock, a most unusual mechanism for releasing the drawers.
It is in very good condition for its age and it comes with a working key. There are signs of age and use, some marks and light knocks, minor splits but no major damages and 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.
