A charming maroon leather writing case with hallmarked silver clasp. Made in 1879. In very good antique condition.

Retailed by Houghton and Gunn of 162 New Bond Street.

The ink bottle does not open and I don't want to force it. Some scratches to outside of the case.

Measures 15cm x 12.5cm closed and 15cm x 45cm when fully open.
