About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning original Antique Victorian Mahogany & Brass Military Campaign writing slope. I actually have a pair of these, the other has slightly different dimensions and is listed under my other items. What a find, if you are in the market for this type of luxury antique militaria then look no further, this is the finest example I have personally seen. The timber patina is glorious, it’s a very old type of mahogany, most likely Cuban. The brass fixtures and fittings all operate perfectly and are flawlessly mounted. The writing slope itself has some interesting features, the large side drawer is locked in place by a long metal rod, this rod also stops the drawer from coming all the way out. You have two internal document storage sections and various stationary cubby’s. The writing slope has a gold leaf embossed, green leather top which is very nice quality and gives the piece a nice Regency look and feel. Condition wise is perfect for the period, this is gallery ready. We have lightly cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom. Dimensions Height:- 45cm Width:- 51cm Depth:- 30.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. This item is available for collection from our Pulborough warehouses. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description pertaining to the condition. Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
