A FANTASTIC QUALITY BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD WRITING SLOPE FROM THE FIRST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY. IT HAS FOLD AWAY BRASS HANDLES ON THE SIDES AND A BRASS ENGRAVED CARTOUCHE AND SIMILAR ESCUTCHEON. INTERNALLY IT HAS A PARTIALORIGINAL RETAILERS STICKER UNDER ONE OF THE PANELS, THE ORIGINAL MOROCCAN TOOLED LEATHER SLOPES AND TWO HIDDEN DRAWERS. IT HAS ONE PATCH OF REPAIRED VENEER TO THE LID AND I HAVE REMADE PART OF THE RELEASE MECHANISM FOR THE HIDDEN DRAWERS (BUT IT WORKS FINE). ORIGINAL LOCK AND A MATCHED WORKING KEY. PLEASE NOTE; THE KEYS ARE HANDMADE AND SPECIFIC TO THE LOCK SO REPLACEMENTS ARE HARD TO FIND, ALSO THE LOCKS ARE VERY OLD AND CAN FAIL SO I’D ADVISE JUST USING THE KEYS AS DECORATION AND LOCKING THE BOX AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. IT HAS BEEN GIVEN A VERY LIGHT CLEAN AND A BEESWAX POLISH. UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO EXCESS PAPERWORK AND CONDITIONS I NO LONGER SELL TO COUNTRIES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION. CONDITION: GOOD WITH JUST A FEW VERY MINOR MARKS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES COMMENSURATE WITH AGE AND USE. PLEASE NOTE THE MAJORITY OF MY ITEMS ARE OVER 100 YEARS OLD AND WILL SHOW WEAR AND TEAR AND AS SUCH NOT EVERY IMPERFECTION CAN BE DESCRIBED, SO PLEASE EXAMINE PHOTOS CAREFULLY. LENGTH 38.5CM, WIDTH 25CM, HEIGHT 14CM. (PLEASE NOTE ONLY THE ITEMS DESCRIBED ARE FOR SALE, ALL OTHER ITEMS ARE FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES). IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK. AND THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!
