Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1800s.
The sloped lid has an original central decoupaged picture of Moses being rescued from the river, there is naturally some wear to the panel but now the entire box has been professionally re-polished, it will now be protected. Either side of the box is a heavy cast brass swing handle.
Behind this slope is a removable tray (with additional space below) which houses the two glass inkwells and lidded compartments for the storage of nibs, a seal and sealing wax.
The box remains in excellent condition with some replacement hand-marbled paper and replacement leather scriver. The finish is wonderfully glossy and the lock houses a working key. 13" x 12" x 4 3/4" deep at rear.
