About the Item
19th century metamorphic camphor writing slope circa 1890.
Here we have a fine quality campaign tambour table top desk made in camphor wood.
Many features to this brass bound desk. Fitted with brass handles to each side and edging around the outside edge. Central brass cartouche to the lid with strung inlaid border that echoes the shape. Bottom drawer pulls out which opens the tambour at the same time to reveal the pigeon holed compartments, which pull out and fix into place. Lid opens to form a green baize writing surface and allow access to the ink wells and removable pen tray. Furthermore the writing slope opens back on itself to reveal a pair of drawers hidden behind a secret door.
Rich golden colour, minor restorations to wood work. Fine example of this type of box.
