Description

A lovely example of a early 19th Century Mahogany writing box and slope. It has impressive brassware and in my opinion really nice flush side handles. With the military corners and straps it could of course be a campaign writing box, so it may have many a story to tell if it could talk. It does have some wear but overall in good clean condition with a good finish. We have cleaned and rewaxed this so it is ready for a new home. It has a little key but the lock does not seem to be operative, but it has a new leather so that is good and we have fitted a new beize to the base. Inside there is a space for an ink bottle and next to that a space for pens. There is a pin cushion and under the writing slope two little drawers for private bits and pieces. It would be difficult not to be pleased with this for the price which is £370. There are examples out there for twice this price. Give us a call it could make a superb present perhaps.
We have been in business for 40 years and are now coming up to retirement. We are in consequence looking to reduce our stock, Delivery can be arranged with a specialist carrier for around £70 to most areas. We now open by appointment, but we are often open Fridays and Saturdays, but cannot guarantee,( our sign will be out if passing ) it is worth ringing before coming.Tel 01565 874075
We look forward to seeing you or hearing from you.
