Rare Fine Antique Early Victorian Military Campaign Writing Slope Davenport Desk
About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale this early Victorian Military Campaign writing slope in the form of a Davenport desk circa 1840-1860 in solid mahogany
I’ve only ever seen one other in this size before and it was retailing for nearly £8,000 They are very rare, designed to take on campaign so they are small and lightweight, later in life it may have been used in a library or study, for today it can be used for exactly the same function, this is the best possible kind of antique, one that looks stylish and sophisticated and still has a function
Condition wise we have deep cleaned, hand condition waxed and hand polished it, it has a genuine period patina which is to say there are marks as you would expect based on age and use, naturally the original key has been lost over the years, you can have a new one made for a few pounds, you will need something to open the cupboard door, we can provide a dummy key or fit a handle

- Exquisite Victorian Hardwood Military Campaign Writing Slope Desk & Later StandLocated in GBWe are delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning original Antique Victorian Mahogany & Brass Military Campaign writing slope with later stand What a find, if you are in the market for this type of luxury antique militaria then look no further, this is the finest example I have personally seen. The timber patina is glorious, it’s a very old type of mahogany, most likely Cuban. The brass fixtures and fittings all operate perfectly and are flawlessly mounted The stand has been made at a later date to showcase and protect the piece, it is now the size of a normal side table. The writing slope itself has some interesting features, the top can be sat at a 45 degree angle for reading, there is a piece of beaded wood that slots into the two front holes, this holds and seats whatever literature you wish to rest there. The large side drawer is locked in place by a long metal rod, this rod also stops the drawer from coming all the way out. You have two internal document storage sections and various stationary cubby’s. The writing slope is baize lined and on the underside of the base you have a crosshatched silk ripped design which has been studded in place. This is exactly the same as antique LV steamer...Category
