Antique Anglo-Indian Vizagapatam Stag Antler Horn Slope Top Writing Desk c 1800s

About the Item

Stag Antler Table Top Desk Secretary or rather as described by a British expert: an Anglo-Indian Stag Antler Writing Slope Table Top Desk, late 19th century from Vizagapatam, which was the headquarters of the Vizagapatam District of Madras during the British period. Stag Antler anything is rare and unusual today, especially when it is completely covered in carved strips of Natural unpolished Antler. Finding Stag Antler Writing Desks are beyond rare and in our 30-years in the Antique business we have only found four in nice enough condition to purchase. The first use of Anglo-Indian we believe was to describe the British people who lived in India. Condition comments: Some small splits, chips, losses. Hinge actions working well. Top set of hinges replaced.
