Victorian Rosewood Brass Bound Writing Slope

19th century
Description

A good example of an antique writing slope dating from the late 19th Century. It is made of rosewood with brass strapping, brass banding on the edges, an ornate inlaid brass escutcheon and matching cartouche. It comes with its original working key.

Inside, the box is fitted with a blue velvet writing surface. It has a pair of glass inkwells, a pen tray and a small lidded compartment. The top and bottom section of the writing surface lift up to give extra storage space below. There are also three small concealed secret drawers which spring open when a piece of wood is lifted by the inkwell.

It is in very good condition for its age. There are signs of age and use, some marks and light knocks, and a small dented area in the top surface (see photo) but there are no major damages and it displays well.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Tracked UK delivery £15.
