AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large rosewood writing slope with brass fittings – England, circa 1840–1870
A large Victorian writing slope with a beautifully figured flame figure. The case has brass campaign fittings: continuous bands, corner brackets, inlaid strips along the sides, a star-shaped key escutcheon, and a matching decorative plate on the lid.
When opened, the case forms a slanted writing surface, lined with green baize. The interior is mahogany, with a roomy storage compartment, a pen trough, and compartments for ink pots. The brass lock with a steel bolt operates and the key is present.
Dimensions: 50 × 26 × 17 cm (W × D × H, closed)
Condition: Good, with age-appropriate signs of wear to the exterior. The green baize is presumably later replaced. The ink pots are missing. The lock functions and the key is present. See the photos.
