Retailed by Charles Henry, Manchester From our Writing Box collection, we are delighted to offer this English Burr Walnut Writing Box by Betjemann. The Writing box of slim rectangular shape with a slightly sloped lid is veneered in exquisite Burr Walnut to the exterior with beautifully shaped brass mounts. The escutcheon sits at the centre of the writing box on a brass mount which also features three monogrammed letters C F E. When opened the box reveals a royal blue velvet writing slope with a gold tooled border framed by an embossed greek key style border. The box is faced in exotic Coromandel wood which is a rare addition to this style of Writing Box. Above the writing slope, there is a partitioned section lined in Satinwood with two glass inkwells and a pen tray with further storage.
