A Vizagapatam pen-engraved veneered sandalwood portable writing desk with silver mounts
India, Coromandel coast, Visakhapatnam, circa 1875
The writing desk with a large drawer under a sloping lid, which opens out into a writing surface, revealing five small drawers and an arched interior, the large drawer enclosing several compartments and four lidded boxes, the exterior and facings of the entire box with veneer, pen-engraved with foliate borders, with silver lock, hinges and mounts.
Measures: H. 24.2 x W. 44 x 25.4 cm
Note:
The desk is completely covered, engraved with foliate borders related to early 18th century Coromandel Coast chintzes for the Dutch Market.
