Description

This Victorian campaign writing slope, made in camphor wood and dating to circa 1890, is a handsome metamorphic piece with brass handles, edging and a central cartouche to the lid. The tambour opens to reveal pigeon-holed compartments, while the lid forms a green baize writing surface with ink wells and a removable pen tray; it even opens back on itself to expose a pair of drawers behind a secret door. Rich golden in colour, with minor restorations to the woodwork.
