    About this item

    This is an antique campaign writing slope. An English, mahogany ship's captain's correspondence desk, dating to the Victorian period, circa 1850.

    Superior campaign piece with captivating roll-top action

    Displays a desirable aged patina

    Select mahogany shows fine grain interest

    Rich caramel hues to the wax polish finish

    Upon opening the front drawer, the roll-top arcs backwards to reveal the secret gallery

    Raising from its recess, the 8 compartment letter rack flanks a central mirrored door

    The writing slope in two parts, the upper of which conceals another compartment

    Dressed in vibrant purple velour with rich, golden tooled border

    Dressed with a shield shaped brass escutcheon with working inset lock — key present

    Brass drop handles on shaped backs, with similar handle to the rising compartment

    Campaign handles to the sides feature recessed pulls with demi-lune handles

    Striking, brass X-shaped dressing to the gallery sides — the right pushing in to lower the piece

    This is a beguiling antique campaign writing slope, with an automated mechanism that will delight for years to come. A rare opportunity, this piece is set to be a fine addition to any collection or home. Solid joints and construction, delivered waxed, polished and ready for the home.
