Victorian Mahogany Writing Slope 

Stunning antique writing slope made of solid mahogany with recessed brass carrying handles and matching brass escutcheons. The top brass plaque has not been engraved so could be engraved with a message or initials of your choice. It is a good large size and excellent quality.

Inside, the box is fitted with lovely deep maroon leather with gold tooling. There is also a removable pen tray and further sections which would have once held inkwells. The top part of the writing surface lifts up to provide storage for paper etc and there is a small leather tab to help lift it up. The bottom part also lifts up and is held in place by a brass latch.

It is in good condition for its age with a beautiful patina. The brass has been lightly polished and it displays very well inside and out. There is no major damage to the wood exterior. There are some small knocks and some old splits but nothing that affects the overall appearance of the box. The box comes with its original key and working lock.
