The timber patina is glorious, it’s a very old type of mahogany, most likely cuban. The brass fixtures and fittings all operate perfectly and are flawlessly mounted the stand has been made at a later date to showcase and protect the piece, it is now the size of a normal side table. The writing slope itself has some interesting features, the top can be sat at a 45 degree angle for reading, there is a piece of beaded wood that slots into the two front holes, this holds and seats whatever literature you wish to rest there. The large side drawer is locked in place by a long metal rod, this rod also stops the drawer from coming all the way out. You have two internal document storage sections and various stationary cubby’s. The writing slope is baize lined and on the underside of the base you have a crosshatched silk ripped design which has been studded in place. This is exactly the same as antique lv steamer trunk lids, feel free to check my other items condition wise is perfect for the period, this is gallery ready. We have lightly cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom. Dimensions closed height:- 50 cm width:- 53 cm depth:- 28 cm. Dimensions open height:- 35 cm width:- 53 cm depth:- 52.5 cm See less
