AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Victorian 19th-century English collector’s or correspondence cabinet (often referred to as a stationery cabinet or campaign desk box).
It was a multifunctional desk accessory for the well-to-do bourgeoisie. The unfolded writing surface (covered with purple felt) served as a writing area. The drawers were intended for storing valuables, letters, writing implements, or specific collections (such as coins or watches).
At the bottom there is space for pens and an inkwell (inkpot present).
The cabinet is made of warm walnut wood.
On the front there is a horizontal crack in the wood.
The drawers have recessed brass handles. This type of hardware is typical for campaign furniture (furniture designed to be compact and protected during transport) and prevents the handles from getting in the way when doors for the cabinet are closed.
The drawers show some signs of aging (not intrusive).
Height 36 cm.
Length 31 cm.
Width 22 cm.
Weight 5.5 kg.
The box will be securely packed and sent by registered mail and insured.
