AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful mahogany wooden writing box with copper fittings, very complete with crystal ink pots, multiple compartments, a lid and a small key.

The interior is nicely finished with purple felt and dark wood.
The larger letter compartment is also closable; when unfolded it becomes a writing surface with a sloped plane and a felt bottom.

various storage compartments: a long one for pens with a storage compartment underneath.
Ink pots with an original copper lid and cork underneath.

Also a long, slender stick, possibly a ruler or something similar?

Everything is in good condition; the lock works and it comes with the key.

a few small blemishes on the copper rim.
See the photos for the details and to form a good impression; they are part of the description.

Seller's Story

Passion for Art, Antiques, and Collectibles. Always enthusiastically searching for interesting and beautiful Collectibles in Antiques, Art, Curiosities, Design & Vintage at markets, auctions, and estate sales. I am fascinated by the story and history behind the various objects and their makers. The aim is to give these beautiful objects a new place among enthusiasts for their collection or to enhance their interior. Started this dream as a sole proprietorship in 2018. And of course, there is the love for the French Bulldog: Pip and especially successor Chouffe. That's why they are included again in my logo.
