Antique Victorian Wooden Writing Slope

Genuine 19th-century Victorian wooden writing slope / portable lap desk. Features a rich wood finish with classic dovetail joinery, brass keyhole escutcheon, and its original embossed crimson velvet writing surface. Opens up to reveal internal storage under the hinged writing flaps along with compartments for pens and inkwells. Condition: • Lovely aged patina throughout with original interior velvet intact (shows honest signs of age and light wear consistent with a piece over 120 years old). • There is a vintage shrinkage crack running across the top lid—it adds plenty of character as-is, or could be easily stabilized/repaired by anyone who enjoys light restoration. A great decorative piece for a home office, study, or collector. Delivery available
