维多利亚时代军用写字桌 / 便携军官桌

英格兰 – 大约 1875–1885 年 – 桃花心木，带原装伦敦锁具

一张晚期维多利亚时代的英格兰军用写字桌，选用实心桃花心木，配有原装黄铜五金件和可拆卸腿。

这张优雅的便携式写字桌特色：
• 可拆卸的 X 形腿，能够牢固滑入桌下原装木质支托槽
• 用于运输耐用的黄铜角护件
• 原装凹嵌式黄铜军用把手
• 黄铜钥匙孔饰板
• 两个抽屉，带工作锁，刻有印记：

“J. Beardmore – London W”
“Secure 2 Lever”

这些带印记的锁是重要的年代鉴定要素。“London W”邮区标识及两杠杆黄铜锁板对应于19世纪晚期的生产，大约1875–1895年。J. Beardmore 在此期间于伦敦经营，为橱柜匠和军用家具制造商供货。

腿部安装系统——为便于拆卸和运输而设计——是专为军官、殖民地服务人员或绅士旅途所制的维多利亚时代行旅家具的特征。
