Antique Brass-Bound Rosewood Writing Slope, c.1850 Nice quality mid-19th century English brass-bound writing slope in richly figured rosewood, dating to around 1850.

Beneath the writing surfaces are two storage compartments for papers and documents. Retains a fitted brass-mounted inkwell and key. Attractive colour. Some missing veneer to the side and some marks in align with age. Velvet worn and marked to the interior, some looseness to writing surface as pictured. Inkwell and key present. Newly baized to the underside Dimensions: Width 46 cm × Depth 26 cm × Height 17 cm
