It was listed by Gilt and Gesso. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Gilt and Gesso has dated this Rosewood Writing Slope to the 19th Century.
The attractive slope sits well with no loss or obvious distress.
The box opens to reveal its now newly replaced soft black leather writing slope in mostly very good condition and intact whilst keeping the outer gilt and tooled edge which shows obvious signs of timeworn use whilst remaining very useable and mostly very good condition.
The writing slope tilts up to reveal 2 compartments with a rosewood pen recess and inkwell compartments, 2 original glass inkwells with marginally differing lids.
An excellent quality 19th century writing slope box of considerable decorative appeal, please note there is no key.
