"Large Travel Writing Desk In Rosewood - Late Nineteenth"
Marine box in Rosewood, with cut brass plates, with a decorative function on its top and protection in its corners. It has a functional lock and its original key. Once unlocked, this box becomes a slanted writing desk, covered with predominantly green old leather and embellished with friezes, sometimes golden, sometimes on a hard background. This work area also offers several small storage compartments in the upper part, and under the leather two larger spaces. In one of them, note the presence of three small secret drawers, hidden under a removable cleat. We will appreciate the Elegance of this Writing Case, as well as its practicality, which it owes in particular to the two recessed brass handles with which its sides are provided. ********* Period: Late 19th century Perfect condition after restoration in our workshop.
