A further high quality detail is that solid brass string inlays have been added – a double band to the top and front – which sets off the Coromandel very well and is all inlaid by hand. The central brass reserve to the top and brass escutcheon are shaped as open flower heads and are original also. The box retains its original working steel key and opens on original hinges to reveal the writing slope. This is inset with a new black leather skiver with gold tooled border. The original skiver was black but was damaged and torn so we have replaced it with an identical skiver and matching gold tooling. The inner writing slope is solid mahogany and it locks into the top of the box with small brass slide bolts.
