About the Item
Regency Brass-Inlaid Portable Writing Desk on Later Stand, with Secret Drawer, Possibly by Thomas & William Lund
A fine English Regency period portable writing slope, early 19th century, crafted in figured mahogany with elaborate brass inlay, corner strapping, and campaign-style hardware. The hinged top opens to reveal the original green baize writing surface and a compartmented interior, including a concealed well hidden beneath a removable board. A recently discovered secret drawer, cleverly integrated into the casework, further underscores the quality of craftsmanship associated with top London box makers of the period.
This campaign-style writing desk is mounted on a custom later stand, allowing it to function beautifully as a side table or decorative accent. While unsigned, the refined brasswork, fitted compartments, and secret drawer are consistent with the work of Thomas & William Lund, or a comparable Regency-era London workshop.

24" H x 20.75" W x 11.5" D (overall)
