Antique Campaign Writing Slope, Ships Captain Antique Campaign Writing %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
This is an antique campaign writing slope. An English, mahogany ship's captain's correspondence desk, dating to the Victorian period, circa 1850.

Superior campaign piece with captivating roll-top action
Displays a desirable aged patina
Select mahogany shows fine grain interest
Rich caramel hues to the wax polish finish

Upon opening the front drawer, the roll-top arcs backwards to reveal the secret gallery
Raising from its recess, the 8 compartment letter rack flanks a central mirrored door
The writing slope in two parts, the upper of which conceals another compartment
Dressed in vibrant purple velour with rich, golden tooled border

Dressed with a shield shaped brass escutcheon with working inset lock — key present
Brass drop handles on shaped backs, with similar handle to the rising compartment
Campaign handles to the sides feature recessed pulls with demi-lune handles
Striking, brass X-shaped dressing to the gallery sides — the right pushing in to lower the piece
