Description

The secret drawer can only be opened by first removing the original pin closure on the inside.
The writing surface is a beautiful dark green velvet, and both halves hinge up to reveal storage underneath. The original brass stand hinges up on the side in three different positions to hold the slope open at an angle when only the pen rest and ink wells need to be reached.
Size closed-20 inches long by 9.75 inches deep by 6 inches high.
This is a lovely complete writing box for the collector, or a great decorative piece to use in any room.
With lovely colour and patination, it is all in very good condition.
