In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
This section has a glass inkwell and a wooden pen tray but it also conceals a secret compartment. When the piece of wood next to the pen tray is lifted a secret tray shoots out from under the fittings.
The box comes with it original working bramah key (which must be pushed right in for the duration of the turn to lock/unlock)
The box is in good condition for its age. It has been well used and the leather has worn over time and has some stains, wear and minor losses which has created a wonderful authentic worn patina. Inside, it is generally clean and tidy with a few small marks and signs of use and some wear along the leather creases but nothing detrimental. Overall the box displays very well and is certainly a nice usable item.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
