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.

FAQs

A military style writing slope, often associated with campaign furniture, is a portable wooden box designed with an angled interior writing surface, inkwell compartments, and recessed brass fittings to withstand travel during naval or military transport.

Victorian writing slopes were commonly constructed from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, frequently bound with protective brass corners and straps, and lined internally with baize or leather.

Authentic nineteenth-century writing slopes feature period construction indicators, including hand-cut dovetail joints, flush-fitting brass hardware, original lock mechanisms, and age-appropriate wear or oxidisation to the wood and metal.

An antique writing slope can be displayed closed as a decorative box on an office desk, coffee table, or bookshelf, or kept open to showcase the internal writing surface and desk accessories.

Mahogany boxes should be kept in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking or veneer lifting, and dusted regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or polished with natural beeswax.
