FAQs

A campaign writing slope is a portable desk designed for officers and travellers during the 18th and 19th centuries, folding out to provide a slanted writing surface and storage for stationery.

These boxes were typically crafted from dense hardwoods like mahogany, coromandel, or rosewood, and reinforced with brass corners, straps, and flush-fitting handles to withstand travel.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional slot screws, high-quality secondary timbers, and genuine patination on the wood and brass.

Positioned closed on a console table, side table, or desk, it serves as a sophisticated decorative object that also offers functional hidden storage for contemporary stationery.

Maintain the wood by applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to preserve the finish, and gently clean the brass hardware with a dry microfiber cloth without using abrasive metal polishes.
