Antique Rosewood Writing Slope. Writing Case.
This is a very well appointed, and complete antique Ladies writing slope.
It dates to the first half of the 19th Century, and is made of rosewood, inlaid with mother of pearl.
The case opens to reveal a sloped writing surface with a good quality later replacement green leather.
The edge of the writing slope has a contrasting border of cross grained tulipwood veneer.
The pen and ink compartments to the rear of the case are enclosed under a hinged lid, fitted with a lock and inset shield escutcheon of mother of pearl. Unfortunately there is no longer a key to the lock. This lid is inlaid inside and out with borders of mother of pearl.
The compartments themselves would have taken all the necessary items needed for letter or diary writing, - pens, nibs, ink, stamps. The cabinet work of these compartments is complete, and there are 2 glass ink pots with silver lids also.
Below the writing slope there is further space for writing paper and envelopes, and the underside of the lid is taped to hold correspondence, and cards etc.
The case is in excellent condition throughout, and of the nicest quality.
