Rare Antique circa 1860 Library Writing Table Desk with Twin Writing Slopes
About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale this very rare original circa 1860 Mahogany library table with built in twin writing slopes
This is a very rare piece, I’ve not seen another, it can be used as a normal twin drawer desk or even a dining table, the intended function was for two students or workers that required writing slopes to share it sitting at opposite sides like a partner desk but this is of course a table. It comes with the original slip slides which can be removed, these keep in places books etc when using the incline of the slope. Each slope has 4-5 positions so you can adjust the angle accordingly
We have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, it has various age and use related marks as you would expect, mostly its in very fine order
