Victorian Burr Walnut English Writing Slope with Brass Mounts & Secret Drawer
Details
This 19th-century English writing slope is a beautifully crafted example of a portable desk, designed with both elegance and practicality. Made from richly figured wood and reinforced with brass corners and strapping, it opens to reveal a fitted interior with compartments for pens, inkwells, and stationery. The writing surface retains its original blue velvet lining, framed in contrasting trim.
Adding to its appeal, this slope includes a side drawer and hidden drawer underneath the writing platform for extra storage and still retains its original working key—a rare detail that enhances its authenticity and collectability. One glass inkwell remains with the box, further connecting it to its period use.
