Impressive Victorian writing slope or travel desk - attributed to the famous company of Thompson - from the period around 1800 - 1815 in the United Kingdom. This fantastic Captain’s campaign writing slope dates back to the Napoleonic wars. Well constructed out of solid mahogany with screwed down mount re-enforcements, brass banding, and inset carrying handles at each end, this outstanding travel desk box was designed to withstand the harsh maritime life at sea. The exterior of this Victorian travel box shows an attractive mahogany grain, beautiful colour, and a lovely pleasing patina. There are a couple of old indented scars to the lid along with the usual minor surface scratching, but these imperfections confer it an absolutely unique charme. The box has a tri-fold operation, opening to reveal a secondary smaller writing surface for quick use, then opening again to reveal the main slope fitted with a green felt writing surface which is in reasonable condition and compliments the original interior. When it is completely opened you have two storage compartments underneath. The original lock works smoothly with the original key.

A breathtaking 19th-century French "Porte-Montre" (pocket watch holder) whimsically designed in the form of a miniature chair. Crafted during the Napoleon III / Palais Royal era, this exquisite desk display piece features a natural mother-of-pearl shell seat, elegantly framed by delicate gilt brass wirework with flowing cabriole-style legs. Suspended from the top hook is a meticulously carved mother-of-pearl maple leaf that acts as a decorative backrest, complemented by a matching carved leaf dangling below the seat rail. The top hook was specifically designed to hold a pocket watch or pocket watch pendant, allowing the timepiece to rest gracefully above the iridescent shell bowl. Radiating soft pink and green iridescence, the natural shell harmonizes beautifully with the aged brass patina. Offered in exceptional antique condition with intact mother-of-pearl elements. A rare, highly desirable collector’s piece for enthusiasts of French Palais Royal vanity objects and antique pocket watch displays.
